“…The solar PV panel capability increases, when the derating factor decreases, and therefore, efficiency is good and life-time is 25 years. The specifications and the preliminary steps are to be noted before implementation for the five locations and depending on the total area, panel area, total number of panels, the desired output power has to be manually calculated before focusing on real-time implementation using Equations ( 1) to (6).…”

Summary Renewable energy resources have a remarkable landmark across the world to provide electricity to the consumers without any inadequacy in the energy market. The utilization of renewable energy sources in electric vehicle charging stations is among the most prominent area of research in developing countries. This paper analyses techno‐economic and environmental factors of hybrid solar wind vehicle charging stations at the highway of Southern Tamil Nadu, India. The sensitivity analysis is performed in the design of a charging station at the following highway locations at Madurai, Virudhunagar, Sattur, Kayathar, and Tirunelveli. The locations are chosen in such a way that, wind and solar potentials are having contradictory nature in the specified locations. The charging station is designed and optimized as ON‐grid strategy using the hybrid optimization model for electrical renewable tool. The designed system is capable of charging 17 electric vehicles at day from forenoon 6:00 am to evening 6:00 am The attainment of the proposed designed system proves that Virudhunagar shows less net present cost with $303 291.26 and cost of energy as $0.072/kWh with 50% reduction in emission. Moreover, with a focus on economic analysis and Madurai produces 70% more electrical energy than other selected locations. Further, the performance analysis of the system is also studied and it shows more reliable results and is feasible considering both economic and technical studies.

“…From the comparative analysis and experimental results, it was concluded that the proposed system is an effective option for off-grid rural electrification. Nesamalar et al [30] presented a technical and economic analysis of a PV/diesel/battery HES in both off-grid and on-grid mode for an educational institute in India using both the LF and CC strategies. It was found that the on-grid HES using LF dispatch presents the optimal design for the proposed site.…”

Hybrid energy systems (HESs) consisting of both conventional and renewable energy sources can help to drastically reduce fossil fuel utilization and greenhouse gas emissions. The optimal design of HESs requires a suitable control strategy to realize the design, technical, economic, and environmental objectives. The aim of this study is to investigate the optimum design of a grid-connected PV/battery HES that can address the load requirements of a residential house in Iraq. The MATLAB Link in the HOMER software was used to develop a new dispatch strategy that predicts the upcoming solar production and electricity demand. A comparison of the modified strategy with the default strategies, including load following and cycle charging in HOMER, is carried out by considering the techno-economic and environmental perspectives. According to optimization studies, the modified strategy results in the best performance with the least net present cost (USD 33,747), unmet load (87 kWh/year), grid purchases (6188 kWh/year), and CO2 emission (3913 kg/year). Finally, the sensitivity analysis was performed on various critical parameters, which are found to affect the optimum results on different scales. Taking into consideration the recent advocacy efforts aimed at achieving the sustainable development targets, the models proposed in this paper can be used for a similar system design and operation planning that allow a shift to more efficient dispatch strategies of HESs.

“…It was deduced from the comparative analysis and exploratory findings that the suggested framework is a strong option for own lattice provincial jolt. Nesamalar et al [28] used the LF and CC approaches in both off-framework and on-framework to provide a specialized and financial analysis of a PV/diesel/battery HES for an educational facility in India. The on-lattice HES utilizing LF dispatch was discovered to be the best strategy for the suggested place.…”

Cement manufacturing is one of the most energy-intensive industries in the world. Most of the cost of producing cement is accounted by fuel consumption and power expenditures. Thermal power plants are the major source of electricity in Pakistan. But they are not efficient and environmentally friendly. This study simulates four different models for five cement plants of Pakistan on Homer Pro software and compares the optimal solutions based on the net present cost (NPC), levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Model-1 consists of solar panels, electrolyzer, hydrogen tank, hydrogen generator and converter. Model-2 has only a diesel generator and acts as a base case in this study. Model-3 has solar panels and a battery-converter system. In Model-4, diesel generators, solar panels and converters are considered. Based on NPC, the most optimal model is Model-4, having a 0.249 $/KWh LCOE in islanded systems. The NPC and operating costs are US$540 million and US$ 32.5 million per year, respectively, with a 29.80% reduction in CO2 emissions when compared to the base case. Based on GHG emissions, Model-1 and Model-3 are the best models with 0% GHG emissions. Sensitivity analyses is also performed using the parameters of load, inflation rate and discounted rate. The results prove that the proposed hybrid micropower systems (HMS) can sustainably provide electricity for 24 hours a day to the sites under consideration with minimum objectives.
