Abstract:In this paper, electrical energy demand (load) of health centre at Ibeno beach in Akwa Ibom, was estimated based on watt-hour energy demand of the electrical appliances in the health centre. The estimated daily load demand is 35 kWh/day with peak load of 7.735 kW. The sea ambient temperature is about 8% lower than that obtainable on land while the wind speed on sea is about 67% higher than the wind speed on land. The cumulative effect of the lower offshore temperature and higher offshore wind speed is offshore PV cell temperature that is about 18% lower than the PV cell temperature on land. The system is designed with 3 days of autonomy and the resultant load demand will be satisfied by 11.41 kW PV modules and 4765.8Ah battery capacity which amounts to 64 units of the selected PV panels and 24 units of the selected battery.

In this paper, a simulation model is developed to optimise the configuration of a hybrid photovoltaicbattery-diesel system with the objectives to minimise its Life Cycle Cost and CO 2 emissions from the system. The decision variables included in the optimisation model are the total area of photo voltaic arrays, number of PV modules of 600 Wp, diesel generator power and number of batteries of 24 V and 150 Ah. The model has been applied to the analysis of a hybrid power generation system for a typical commercial market consisting of 318 shops in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The optimum sizing process is verified by carrying out an appropriate sensitivity analysis. The results attained are fairly encouraging defending the applicability of the simulation model. The model developed can be utilised to determine the optimum dimensions of the hybrid PV-battery-diesel system for the locations having similar climatic conditions.
