Techno-Economic Feasibility Study of Investigation of Renewable Energy System for Rural Electrification in South Algeria

Abstract

This work aims to consider the combination of different technologies regarding energy production and management with four possible configurations. We present an energy management algorithm to detect the best design and the best configuration from the combination of different sources. This combination allows us to produce the necessary electrical energy for supplying habitation without interruption. A comparative study is conducted among the different combinations on the basis of the cost of energy, diesel consumption, diesel price, capital cost, replacement cost, operation, and maintenance cost and greenhouse gas emission. Sensitivity analysis is also performed.

A Techno-Economic Viability Analysis of the Two-Axis Tracking Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Power System for 25 Selected Coastal Mediterranean Cities

“…Nowadays, all countries are looking to utilize renewable energy resources instead of fossil fuels to mitigate climate change [3]. Additionally, the utilization of renewable energies, such as solar, as power sources, can be an alternative solution for solving the electricity crisis in most countries and reducing the consumption of fossil fuels [4,5]. Globally, solar energy is one of the most popular alternative energy resources for electricity production.…”

Techno-economic modelling of hybrid energy system to overcome the load shedding problem: A case study of Pakistan

“…The present value of state of charge (SOC) determines the allowable charging and discharging of the BSS. The SOC of the BSS at any time ( t ) is given by [ 28 ] as …”

Battery Charging Optimization of Solar Energy based Telecom Sites in India

“…Solar energy is one of the best options as it is totally free of cost and can be harvested easily with available means like solar plates, inverters, and converters. The power harvested from the sunlight during the day can also be used during the night hours if stored in battery banks [3][4]. The power demand for a single telecom site ranges from 1 to 4kW for 24×7 hour operation.…”

“…While varying parameters of batteries and changing operating conditions, critical parameters, like thermal dissipation which causes gassing and ageing of batteries, have to be observed and improved [6]. Input varying conditions, like solar charging current, have to be simulated in most real-time scenarios to see the impact and sizing of solar panels to be optimized [4]. In most cases, the power input from solar panels is insufficient to keep the batteries full charged, especially during sunless days.…”
