An optimization model has been developed to determine specifications of a hybrid solar-diesel-battery based power generation system
to maintain an optimum tradeoff between the life cycle cost and CO2
emission from the system. The model has been solved by using the
simulated annealing technique. The proposed method has been applied
to a residential colony of 135 houses in Moradabad district, India. The
optimum sizing process is verified by carrying out an appropriate sensitivity analysis. Simulation results shows that PV inclusion of 89% and
diesel fraction of 11% with PV arrays of 1030 m2, 477 batteries of 24 V
and 150 Ah and three diesel generators of 5 kW each is the optimized
configuration having minimum a life cycle cost (LCC) of $973000 for
25 yrs, CO2 emission of 24193 kg/year and annual diesel consumption
of 86212 liter. The model has been validated by comparing results with
earlier research work.
