Feasibility and Optimization of Standalone PV/Biogas Hybrid Distributed Renewable System for Rural Electrification: A Case Study of a Cholistan Community

Abstract

Now-a-days, electricity has become the most significant part of human life. For this purpose, renewable energy sources as the emergent sources are introduced in the system. In Pakistan, in spite of having abundant renewable sources and favorable climate conditions, there are some remote areas where the extension of national grid is still absent. In this research paper, one of the remote area of Pakistan, Chak 6-DRB, a village of Cholistan, is considered for the hybrid renewable sources. This research has been implemented on HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric and Renewable) software, in which two renewable sources; solar and anaerobic biogas have been implemented in terms of COE (Cost of Energy), NPC (Net Present Cost), costs of different equipment used and then find an optimal size and costs of the system. This HDRP (Hybrid Distributed Renewable Power) system contains anaerobic biogas, and solar system which yield most accurate and inexpensive results and are quite feasible for this remote area. This standalone generation and distribution model is also analyzed through HOMER including sensitivity parameters. In future, this role model of proposed hybrid renewable system would be very effective and helpful for other remote areas of the country for implementation

Collaborative Optimization Method for Distributed Systems based on Deep Learning

“…Although there are different types of nodes such as terminal, edge and cloud in the hierarchical network structure, peer-to-peer servers are used uniformly in the distributed neural network system, and all nodes are completely peer-to-peer in the system logic [18]. By imposing different restrictions on each simulation node, such as computing power and delay, the nodes are made to imitate the behavior of each layer in the hierarchical network structure.…”

Modeling and Analysis of 3 MW Solar Photovoltaic Plant Using PVSyst at Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan

“…Different types of the PV modules and system schemes were discussed that would help in planning the different renewable energy systems schemes in [2]. Technoeconomic feasibility study was conducted which helps in analyzing the performance of the most economical renewable energy system in Pakistan after the detail comparison of the different hybrid energy systems [3]. A detailed economic optimization for off-grid renewable energy systems was assessed for small loads [4].…”

Perspective of Bioenergy in Pakistan for Sustainable Eco-Friendly Energy Substitute: A Review

“…More than 63% of the population in rural areas live without electricity. The panacea is hidden in the application of renewable energy at a national level [6]. A wide variety of alternative energy options such as solar, biomass, wind, tidal and geothermal are not properly utilized for getting energy [7].…”
