Abstract
The continuous power supply for rural areas can be possible by using renewable hybrid power generation system and also reduction of the energy storage devices for the system. The impact of the shortage of power supply probability, excess power generation, ratio of the energy supply to load demand, renewable fraction of different types of energy sources (solar and wind) and the combined system components and their performances are analyzed. The techno-economic feasibility of solar – wind hybrid system with battery backup is fully discussed. The off-grid PV system, PV-wind hybrid system is modeled and simulated using HOMER software. The comparative analysis of different possible configurations is analyzed in detail. It is found from the simulation results that the PV-wind hybrid system has the lowest unit cost of energy as compared to stand-alone solar PV or wind system. So, the PV-wind hybrid system is most suitable for proposed project.
