Abstract
Due to depletion of fossil energy supplies, climate change, absence of electric energy supply to remote locations, and high connection costs due to long distance, the embracing of Renewable Energy Systems (RES) has been recently accepted worldwide. Despite the problems described above, many countries are taking a long time to deploy renewable energy because of the high capital costs and uncertainty. Therefore, this work considered an optimized techno economic design of a standalone PV, Wind and Battery RES for power generation considering coordinate (13.0931◦N, 7.2248◦E) of Jibia Katsina state Nigeria, using Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) simulation software system. The simulation was carried out in three scenarios namely; PV and Battery, Wind and Battery, and PV, Wind and Battery. The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) obtained from HOMER were found to be ₦44.14/kWhr, ₦29.63/kWhr and ₦29.48/kWhr respectively. The Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP) obtained from HOMER were found to be 0.0328%, 0.0021%, and 0.0137% respectively. The Excess Energy (ExE) produced from HOMER simulation were found to be 4,238kW, 7,710kW, and 3,523kW
