Proposition of a PV/tidal powered micro-hydro and diesel hybrid system: A southern Bangladesh focus

A techno-economic assessment of a combined heat and power photovoltaic/fuel cell/battery energy system in Malaysia hospital

“…For an example, in Ref. [37], a model of possible small hybrid power generation is studied in terms of technical aspects along with the economic analysis through HOMER software. A.M. Abdilahi in his work [38] use HOMER to investigate the possibility of supplying an electricity from a renewable energy system to Hargeisa, Somalia.…”

“…The initial capital and replacement costs are assumed to be $ 500 for a 5 kW generator. The O&M cost of the diesel generator is 0.030 $/h for the generator system [37,49]. The diesel generator has the lifetime of 15,000 h and minimum load ratio of 30%.…”

Review of distributed generation (DG) system planning and optimisation techniques: Comparison of numerical and mathematical modelling methods

“…While Hu and Solana [147] proposed dynamic programming for hybrid wind/diesel engine DG system optimisation based on its operational policy and realistic wind speed simulation, Mohanty et al [148] enhanced the reactive power management of hybrid wind/tidal/diesel engine DG system with unified power flow controller (UPFC) incorporation. In another study, hybrid solar PV/tidal-powered micro-hydro DG system with diesel engine was proposed for mitigation of increased energy demand at southern Bangladesh [149].…”

Economic Feasibility of Renewable Electricity Generation Systems for Local Government Office: Evaluation of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province in South Korea

“…COE is defined as "the mean cost of generating 1 kWh electricity from a particular configuration" [6,13,15,16], and NPC is defined as "the difference of the current worth of all cost inflows and outflows over a particular time period" [6,13,17]. In addition, the renewable fraction of the suggested configuration is assumed to be 100% if the configuration is designed for an independent electricity generation system [18].…”

“…The capacity of PV arrays is believed to range from 0 to 10,000 kW in steps of 5 kW. In addition, the operational lifetime, derating factor, and ground reflectance of PV arrays are known to be 20 years, 80%, and 20%, respectively [16,20].…”
