“…Based on the literature on energy study, optimal energy design and planning analysis encompasses looks at energy demand under different sets of resources and conversion strategies (Wang et al, 2009;Das et al, 2017). This implies that energy planning decisions involve striking a balance between various factors such as environmental, socio-political, technical, and economic aspects over a planning horizon.…”

The electricity generation policy is a strategic policy that drives development in a community. Energy policies are often analyzed with the aim of generating a reliable and affordable electricity for a community. There is a high probability of achieving this aim when energy policy is combined with a community social, technical, economic and environmental needs. This paper determines a hybrid renewable energy source (HRESs) for a rural community using technical, economic, and techno-economic criteria. The selection process combines Criteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation (CRITIC) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) as a solution method. This approach applicability was tested using six HRESs under economic and technical criteria. Ten technical and nine economic criteria were simulated for the HRESs using HOMER. The results from the HOMER software show that A5(PV/wind/battery) and A6 (PV/battery) had a renewable fraction of 1. The results obtained from the CRITIC method showed that the most important technical and economic criteria were diesel generator and total fuel cost, respectively. From an economic perspective, the best HRES for the case study was A4 (diesel/batteries), while A3 (wind/diesel generator/batteries) was the best HRES from a technical and techno-economic perspectives.

“…The methodology of IHOGA is based on genetic algorithm. However, financial analysis based on the cases of this study was performed by HOMER software due to its available components . In the case of HYBRID2, NREL suggests that the accuracy of HOMER optimized results can then be improved using this software .…”

“…By comparing the economics of three systems PV‐battery, PV‐FC‐EL and diesel with HOMER software, Das et al. concluded that diesel had a lower startup cost, but the NPC continued to be very high, which is related to the cost of the fuel. It was also a described PV‐battery system as an optimal one.…”

The decrease of fossil energy resources and the increasing amount greenhouse gas necessitate the needs of clean sources of energy. One renewable energy source is wind power which has been developing in recent years. Unfortunately, it can happen that no wind power is available during peak hours. In this case, a storage system, charged with backup power, is required. In this study, a hybrid system is presented for a wind farm to provide a reliable power supply and offer, in addition, valuable by‐products. The presented hybrid system consists of four main components: a wind turbine, an electrolyzer, a hydrogen storage tank and a fuel cell. In this paper, the case study for the system was done in Kouhin area of Qazvin province. The technical and economic optimization of the system suggested that in the best scenario (consisting of 3 wind turbines), the annual energy production of the hybrid system would be 2,268,072 kWh, with 9.41% provided by the fuel cell. The results show that the hybrid system would lead to a 10.8% increase in wind power capacity factor. The calculated energy costs and the net present cost for the optimum hybrid system are 0.7599 cent per kilowatt‐hour and 5,235,066 USD.

“…However, utilization of these resources causes carbon dioxide (CO2) and other harmful pollutants to be emitted into the atmosphere which are hazardous to our environment [1][2]. Meanwhile, the ever increasing and continuously unpredictable fluctuating fossil fuels encourages nations to search for new energy sources [3][4]. Solar energy is the most plentiful source of energy on the earth.…”

The There are many factors influencing the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Among these factors, temperature and solar radiation are two major parameters that have a large effect on the efficiency of PV systems. The cell temperature of PV panels is related to the ambient temperature while the solar radiation incident on the surface of the PV modules depends on the slope and azimuth of these modules. Furthermore, ground reflectance (albedo) affects the irradiance incident on the PV panel surface, which in turn affects the output of a PV system. Nevertheless, the effects of these factors on the economic performance of the solar PV systems are scarcely reported. This paper presents a complete design of a stand-alone PV/battery system to supply electric power for a mobile base station in Choman, Erbil, Iraq. The effects of different factors on the total electricity produced by PV arrays and its economic performance are simultaneously investigated. HOMER software has been used as a tool for the techno-economic and environmental analysis. As indicated from the simulation results, the PV array capacity and its economic performance are highly affected by the variation of the slope and azimuth. With a base case (albedo of 20% and average annual ambient temperature of 11°C), the best feasible system which is achieved by facing PV due to south with a tilt angle of 40° or 45°, is found to have net present cost (NPC) of 70595 $ and cost of energy (COE) of 0.54 $/kWh. Moreover, the results indicate that increasing the ground reflectance from 10% to 90% results in a 7.2% decrease in the PV array capacity and about 3% decrease in the NPC and COE. On the other hand, increasing the ambient temperature from 0°C to 40°C results in a 19.7% increase in the PV array capacity and an 8.2% increase in the NPC and COE. Furthermore, according to the ambient temperature of Choman, using PV modules with high sensitivity to temperature is found to be an attractive option. Provided simulation performance analysis proves that the studied parameters must be treated well to establish an enabling environment for solar energy development in Iraq.
