Abstract
Scientific and industrial development has given rise to a rapidly increasing energy demand. Alternative and augmented energy resources are expected everywhere due to scarcity and depletion of other non-renewable resources. During recent years wind and solar had emerged as a promising cleaner energy source to offer a favourable solution with better efficiency. Hence, the attention has now diverted towards scaling up of hybrid system of energy generation. Numerous attempts have been taken to demonstrate the technological development concerning the requirement of the region. Whilst some research has already started to evaluate the working of the prototype, insignificant attention has been paid towards it. The current work also focuses on the simulation with hybrid urban renewable energy systems for techno-economic feasibility analysis. There were earlier attempts to report the advancement occurred in the technological, scientific and industrial sector due to hybrid renewable energy system. In some regard, it was an attempt to showcase the modelling of a typical urban requirement in an hourly load profile to identify in the energy potentials of the urban region. These will help to summarize the past, present and future trends of the hybrid energy system design, development and implementation for the urban region, which can be later on replicated to other parts of the world.
Highlights
Advancement of cities and urban regions is facing several challenging issues towards energy security, energy poverty and maintaining a low carbon rating (Lamrani et al, 2019)
The present study considers the case of Community I typically representing an area/ region having an annual average load of about 5 kW h/day
It unveils that the energy generation potential is relatively better in March, April, May and June due to longer sunny days
Summary
Advancement of cities and urban regions is facing several challenging issues towards energy security, energy poverty and maintaining a low carbon rating (Lamrani et al, 2019). These critical challenges have diverted the attention of the stakeholders towards the search for alternative energy sources to secure its progressive objectives (Lins, 2007) These search for energy technologies have created open space to provide solutions for longlasting energy problems with the combination of several renewable energy resources such as solar, tidal, wind and geothermal (Gifford and Grace, 2011). Combination of all energy sources results in hybrid renewable energy system (RES)/technology and this technology has promising and longlasting possibilities for on-site clean energy production along with reduced CO2 emissions (Luqman et al, 2015) These types of energy systems typically enable us to transform the freely available energy resources to a usable energy system like electricity.
