Abstract
Hybrid energy system (HES) is an excellent solution for electrification of remote rural areas where the grid extension is difficult and not reliable. Thus the present study analyzes different HES in terms of power supply reliability for a remotely located model site having an average electricity demand of 35.4 kW. Solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays, diesel generators (DG) and batteries (BAT) are the components chosen for the HES considering the practical constraints. The reliability of power supply is evaluated based on loss of power supply probability (LPSP) for various system architectures. Thus the systematic approach of optimizing the utilization of power sources in terms of reliability of power supply is the unique feature of the present study.
