Abstract
Decentralized generation using hybrid renewable energy systems has emerged as economical and technically feasible solution for electrifying remote areas. This study emphases on designing a hybrid system consisting of PV/Wind/Biomass/Biogas energy resources to electrify a remote community in Multan, district of south Punjab. Three Different configurations of the hybrid micro-grid system (PV/Biomass, Wind/Biomass, and PV/Wind/Biomass) are modeled using HOMER Pro software and optimization results are presented. Results of techno-economic analysis shows that all three configurations of proposed hybrid system meet the load demand of 259.44 kWh/day. Further, all three hybrid system configurations in which animal manure is used as biomass resource instead of crops residue are more economical. Slurry produced in such can be used as a fertilizer for crops as Multan is an agricultural area.
