This study aims to provide a comprehensive review about the configurations, operation, and integration of multiple energy sources for microgrid (MG) system. The applications of renewable and non-renewable energy sources have been discussed and analysed. Similarly, the several control strategies, protection schemes, and communication networks used for MG have been defined to provide a unique and distinct perspective for an optimal and real-time project. During the review analysis, different used software tools and techniques were observed and applied broadly. However, the most frequently used software and technique are hybrid optimization model for electric renewables (HOMER) Pro and particle swarm optimization algorithm. Additionally, the total global installed capacity for renewable sources is enhanced up to 2588 GW, including 627 GW of PV source, along with the global investment of USD 316.7 Billion on clean energy sources. Furthermore, the least levelized cost of energy for on-grid and off-grid hybrid systems using HOMER Pro was found as $0.072 and $0.145/kWh, respectively. Finally, the work has provided thorough study and future directions about MGs to assist engineers and researchers for their upcoming prospects in the field of renewable energy.

“…Aghenta [23] used B-opt software to determine the energy consumption in a house in Nigeria accurately and then model the hybrid system. Previous studies [38] [39] [40] show that the load consumption, Discount rate, capital costs, solar and wind resources, Fuel cost all have an impact on the micro grids. From the sensitivity analysis in Kabaal, it is seen that the increase in wind speed has a high impact on the COE and NPC of the system in this location as the wind turbine performs better.…”

Around 14% of the global population does not have access to electricity. About 95% of those are living in rural Sub-Saharan Africa. Often in these regions, diesel generators are the only source of electricity. The operating cost of these diesel generators is high. However, solar and wind energy are available in most of African countries. This study presents the analysis of designing an off-grid hybrid system with a wind turbine, PV, diesel generator, and battery to power a hospital, school, and 200 household village in four locations across Somalia. The research investigated the availability of wind-solar resources in selected locations. Designing of the system and economic-technical calculations were performed using HOMER. The selection of the optimum design was based on the Cost of Electricity and Net Present Cost. The results show that for Kabaal and Ceel Buur, a WT-PV-DG-Battery is the optimal system as the wind resource in these regions is high. For Saakov and Baki, a PV-DG-Battery system proves to be optimum as the wind resource is limited here. The study also evaluated the control strategy and proved that combined dispatch was the most cost-effective for these locations. The study concluded that hybrid systems are more economical than diesel systems.

Electricity has become a part and parcel of modern life. The world is constantly developing, and the electricity demand is inevitably increasing with it. It is a big challenge for the power generation organizations to cope up with this increasing demand. For a developing country like Bangladesh, this challenge is even bigger. Bangladesh has many remote areas which are deprived of grid connectivity. In this article, system design and performance evaluation are conducted on a solar battery‐based hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) with diesel backup for a school in a remote area located in the northern part of the country, where conventional power grid connectivity is not available. From field survey, a load demand of 10.468 kWh/day for a normal working day and a peak demand of 3.3 kW are considered in this work for the proposed site. For simulation purpose hybrid optimization model for electric renewable, very well‐known software is used. The solar radiation data required for the work are collected from NASA Surface meteorology and Solar Energy database. Analyzing the load requirements and metrological data a solar‐battery diesel generator‐based HRES is proposed for the school. From the analysis and simulation, the Net Present Cost (NPC) for the proposed system is found USD 6191 with a Cost of Energy (COE) of $0.125/kWh. Further, a comparative study is done and the proposed system can reduce the COE and Green House Gas (GHG) emission of about 29.85% and 69% respectively than the conventional power plants. Finally, a techno‐economic analysis is conducted with sensitivity analysis, time series analysis, and multiyear analysis to prove the rigidity of the proposed system.
