Abstract
AbstractToday, using systems based on renewable resources is a suitable alternative to fossil fuels. However, due to problems such as the lack of access in all the times needed to supply cargo and high‐investment cost, it has not been well‐received. In this research, in addition to maintaining the technical specifications and increasing the reliability of the system due to the addition of the hydroelectric power plant to other wind and solar systems, it has been tried to use biodiesel fuel (biofuel) as an alternative to fossil fuel in the diesel generator. To identify the most economical combination of the system with the application of social costs and the limit of pollutant and greenhouse gas emission in independent mode with the help of Homer software. the results showed that adding biodiesel to the designed system, the investment costs will increase by $282,038, which has a direct impact on the cost of energy and causes an increase of 0.0115 $/kWh. While the use of biodiesel reduces the emission of carbon dioxide by 28,947 kg/year.
