Abstract
In the remote and isolated island Manpura in southern Bangladesh, located within the Bhola district and surrounded by the Meghna River, most communities rely on farming and fishing for their livelihoods. Due to its isolation, the island is not connected to the mainland's electrical grid. In this study, a freestanding green hybrid energy system was proposed for the Manpura island using HOMER software to meet the electricity needs of its 17,016 households. The average load for the system is 9,149.87 kWh per day, with an annual peak load of 2,112.6 kW. The system would utilize PV panels, hydrokinetic energy, biogas, wind turbines, storage, and a converter, with a total Net Present Cost (NPC) of 23,796,260.00 and a Cost of Energy (COE) of $0.5515. This hybrid energy systems would provide a sustainable and cost-effective long-term power solution for the island while preserving its natural beauty.
