Hybrid Distributed Generation, Renewable Energy, Optimization, Homer, Economic AssessmentAbstract
This article examines the viability of standalone PV/Wind Hybrid
system for remote household in north eastern region (NER) of India. Sizing, optimization, and the economical analysis of the Hybrid system is
done through HOMER software. Sensitivity analysis is carried out with
solar radiation data, wind speed data, cost of PV and Wind system for
a 1kW PV/Wind Hybrid system. Annual peak, scaled annual average,
and the average load of 697 W, 3.85 kWh/day, and 0.175 kW respectively
are assumed for a remote household for analysis purpose. This article
presents the optimal sizing, cost of electricity (COE), battery profile, and
converter profile of PV/Wind hybrid system for different NER states.
The outcome of this study shows that COE for the NER states lies in the
range of 0.279-0.518 $/kWh, making hybrid PV/Wind system the most
successful option for mitigation of power demand in the rural areas of
the region concerned.
