Energy is needed for all community activities, the production of all goods,
and the provision of all services. It is extremely important to a country’s
economy and wealth. Currently, conventional fossil fuels provide most of
the world’s energy. In case of oil and gas fields their energy consumption is
totally off-grid, their generation depends upon fossil fuels, the cost of energy
consumption of oil and gas fields are too high because operational work of
the field is totally depending upon fossil fuels. The development of off-grid
renewable energy generation technologies offers the opportunity for tackling
these challenges. This study provides a techno-economic feasibility analysis
of an off-grid hybrid renewable energy system [HRES] for Pasakhi Satellite
Oil & Gas Field, Tando Jam, Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. The proposed
hybrid energy system designed for field consists of the different combination
of solar Photovoltaics [PVs], wind turbines, batteries, and generator to meet the required energy consumption demand. The renewable hybrid energy
system is model and optimized configuration through powerful simulation
software Hybrid Optimized Model for Electric Renewable [HOMER] Pro.
The optimized configuration of the hybrid system consists of solar PV’s
(50 kW), Wind turbines (60 kW), 40 lead-acid batteries (165 Ah and 12V
each), 30 kw generator and 100 kW converter. The simulation results show
that the proposed system can meet the power requirements of 250 kWh/day
primary demand load with 40.21 kW peak load. This system configuration
has the Capital Cost $71040, the Net Present Cost [NPC] of $253,159 and
Cost of Energy [COE] of 0.215$/kWh. Furthermore, the results of the present
study are compared with the literature because of which a cost-effective
HRES with a low COE has been established.
