Abstract

This study presents a wind-solar photovoltaic based standalone hybrid energy system (HES) for an un-electrified village for central region of India - Madhya Pradesh. The inputs for the designing of HES are wind speed, solar radiation, temperature and the load demand which are variable with respect to time. In this study, hourly values of meteorological data and hourly load demand are considered over a year. For sizing and performance analysis of this standalone HES, ant colony optimisation technique has been used. The performance analysis of the system is done for the various parameters such as total cost of the system, power generated by various sources, state of charge of battery, contribution of various sources, continuity of supply to the load demand and unmet load. The obtained optimal configuration of the proposed HES is found to provide minimal energy cost with excellent performance and reduced unmet load.
