Abstract
Global energy needs have risen in recent years, and traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels are no longer viable. To meet the growing electricity demand, attention has moved to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy. Furthermore, the development of clean energy is vital for combating climate change. Various studies have shown the effectiveness of using hybrid systems (combination of solar photovoltaic and wind energy systems) for generating power. However, a significant amount of energy gets wasted. To prevent the wastage of energy, a dual-energy generation system for integrated grids has been suggested in this paper. The load data have been collected from various regions in Rajasthan, India. An optimal grid system configuration is designed using net present cost and cost per unit of energy. Other factors such as the tilt angle of PV array optimization, wind energy, and inverter optimization have also been used for increasing the reliability and stability of the system. Sensitivity analysis has been performed to analyze the effective variations of the capital costs on the developed system economy. The results obtained from the simulations show that the overall costs of generating electricity from diesel systems and nongrid-based systems have been reduced to 20% at 10% annual capacity shortage allowance. Upon cost analysis, we found that the total cost for installing the suggested system is 49,500 USD, whereas for other systems, the costs came out as 66,000 USD, 56,500 USD, and 56,300 USD, respectively.
Highlights
Hybrid energy systems have received worldwide attention for remote locations where grid supply is not feasible [1]
Various off-grid methodologies, such as hydroenergy and geothermal energy, have been tried in the past few years to improve power supply reliability, but they have failed [6, 7]. e key cause for such strategies’ inability is their high energy prices, which are unaffordable on a broader scale [6, 7]. e system presented in this paper is based on various optimization techniques for enhancing the efficiency of the system, which can provide continuous power at lower costs, reducing the financial pressure on people living in rural areas
The scope of the study is limited as in countries like Yemen and Saudi Arabia, natural gas is the most widely used for power generation, and it is not possible to extract the full potential of the integrated grid systems in these regions
Summary
Hybrid energy systems have received worldwide attention for remote locations where grid supply is not feasible [1]. Ese systems are not capable of Mathematical Problems in Engineering generating maximum power during cloudy or rainy days [5]. Integrating solar and wind energy into hybrid power generation systems will minimize induced power volatility relative to single Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) systems, increasing overall system efficiency and reliability [7]. (i) In this paper, a hybrid and effective system for harnessing power is suggested based on IoT and a combination of solar and wind energy (ii) e aim of this paper is to find the solution to the challenges in resolving carbon emission and enhancing power efficiency, along with the focus on predicting the cost of energy from the system e remainder of the paper is organized as follows.
