Abstract
Application of renewable energy in Sudan is a major issue in strategic planning for alternatives fossil fuels to provide part of local energy demand. Sudan is an important case study in the context of renewable energy because Sudan possesses relatively high profusion of solar radiation, moderate wind speeds. This paper discussed the efficient system of sustainable renewable energy for domestic used and its total cost. The method of this paper was collection of the basic data of solar radiation, wind speed, others required input data, and then hybrid optimization simulation model was developed using the electric renewable energy software Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER). The simulation model has been used to find out the best technically viable renewable based energy efficient system for different numbers of household. It finds as the result some topologies of hybrid power. The simulation results have been presented the most efficient achievement and economic way for different numbers of household. The overall cost of energy would be low if the turbine cost decreases in Khartoum. The project lifetime has been considered for 25 years and the annual real interest rate has been taken as 4%. Key words: HOMER, Khartoum- renewable energy, power system, domestic.
Highlights
A hybrid energy system generally consists of a primary energy sources working in parallel with standby secondary energy storage units
Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) software developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), USA for micro-power optimization model, has been used to find out the best energy efficient renewable based hybrid system options for Khartoum
This study find that HOMER is Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric
Summary
A hybrid energy system generally consists of a primary energy sources working in parallel with standby secondary energy storage units. Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) has been used to optimize the best energy efficient system for Khartoum considering different load and wind-PV combination. HOMER software developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), USA for micro-power optimization model, has been used to find out the best energy efficient renewable based hybrid system options for Khartoum. It contains a number of energy component models and evaluates suitable technology options based on cost and availability of resources (HOMER, 2005).
