“…Studies using 5-kW rooftop PV panels are available in the literature [33], [93], [94], [95]. In addition, grid usage was limited because of the increasing renewable energy and decreasing CO 2 emissions for grid-tied HRES [96]. parameters such as NPC, COE, RF, and amount of CO 2 considered in the evaluation of the optimum system configuration for each province to meet the residential load demand.…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the economic, technical, and environmental performances of grid-tied and stand-alone hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs) in 21 provinces in seven regions of Turkey, considering different regional solar radiation and wind speed diversity. HRES were designed and modeled using the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources software (HOMER PRO) to meet the daily load of 13.26 kWh/day of a household. The analysis results for each province were compared considering the cost of energy, net present cost (NPC), greenhouse gas emissions, renewable fraction (RF), and optimum system configuration. The findings demonstrated that the optimal system configurations are Grid/PV/WT and PV/WT/DG/BESS for grid-tied and stand-alone HRES, respectively.

CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Simulation Data 3. Case Studies 4. Optimization Results of the Security System 5. Discussion of Results Conclusion ReferencesAbstract-Security systems play a crucial role in protecting individuals and assets within diverse infrastructures, including seaports. The uninterrupted operation of these systems heavily relies on a continuous power supply, as any disruptions can lead to severe consequences. Therefore, security systems are classified as critical loads requiring uninterrupted power availability. This study focuses on the investigation of an optimal hybrid energy system (HES) to ensure a reliable power supply for security systems in two seaports located in Turkiye. Through the utilization of the HOMER software, optimization analyses were conducted, considering both conventional sources such as grid-generator or grid-generator-battery configurations, as well as off-grid and ongrid HES solutions integrating photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine technologies. The findings reveal that on-grid HES solutions incorporating PV and wind technologies offer a more costeffective and dependable energy supply for security systems in seaports, surpassing traditional alternatives. This study represents a significant contribution to the existing literature, as it presents the first comprehensive optimization study on the design of HES for security systems. The outcomes serve as a valuable reference for future research endeavors in this field.

“…The tool is used to design, simulate, and evaluate configuration options technically and financially; for off-grid and on-grid power systems; for remote, stand-alone, and distributed generation applications. Many projects around the world have been using HOMER for various purposes, such as solar PV system at a campus in Pakistan [19], battery-equipped hybrid system for family housing in Bulgaria [20], grid-connected PV system with energy storage for electric vehicle charging in residential Bangkok area [21], hybrid grid-connected microgrid in Turkey rural area [22], and various PV configurations in Saudi Arabia [23].…”

Mosque is an important building for Muslims worldwide for doing religious activities, such as daily prayers, weekly discourses, and annual celebrations. In many places, mosques are considered appropriate buildings for rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) installation. This study provides a techno-economic analysis of an on-grid PV system in a great mosque. As a case study, Masjid Tablighiyah Garegeh in Bukittinggi is chosen, which is currently under construction with an expected capacity of up to 1,400 people. This study uses HOMER software as a tool to assess optimum configuration for an on-grid PV system. There are four options that is considered in this study: PV-grid, PV-battery-grid, battery-grid, and grid only system . Optimization results showed that both configurations with PV have promising performance; however, an on-grid PV system without battery system is the most optimum configuration. A 40 kWp PV equipped with a 27 kW converter has the least net present cost with USD 6,902, while the cost of energy when implementing the system is only about USD 4.8 cent per kWh. By implementing the system, 57.2 MWh of electricity will be produced from the PV.
