Abstract
In this paper focuses on realizing alternate power supply sources to the Academic buildings located at Manipal, Karnataka. India, and analyzing the possible combination of the Hybrid Energy sources. The main emphasis is on steering the Optimization and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis of the Hybrid Energy sources. The Hybrid Energy System optimization and feasibility study are carried out using HOMER Software and the results are verified with Linear Programming. The case study is conducted with the involvement of PV, Wind turbine and Diesel Generator (DG) along with the battery bank. Further, the DG was integrated with the renewable energy sources to smoothen the power circulation and enhance the reliability issues. The realistic climate data obtained from the NASA website for the location Manipal (13.347° N, 74.75° E) and estimates the solar and wind power using the models developedKeywords: PV, Wind, LCC, Optimization, HOMERJEL Classifications: Q21, Q40, Q41DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.7890
Highlights
In India, most of the rural areas are still undeveloped which are to be provided with electricity
This paper presents a relative analysis of cost optimization of hybrid energy system consisting of PV, wind, and diesel generator (DG) using a linear optimization algorithm and the “HOMER” optimization software
The COE estimated for different combinations and validated the results with linear optimization
Summary
In India, most of the rural areas are still undeveloped which are to be provided with electricity. This paper presents the optimization and costs analysis of hybrid energy system by using HOMER software Al-Karaghouli and Kazmerski (2010), http://homerenergy.com. An algorithm was formulated to be used to solve the optimization problem which links the power generation model and the cost model together This software performs a simulation and optimization process to determine how a particular system configuration would behave in a given setting over a long period of time.
