Abstract
Hybrid renewable resources extensively used to electrify the rural areas. To provide the reliable and economic supply of power in the rural region where grid extension is infeasible integration of the locally available energy resource is the best option. In the present work, economical and optimized design for electrification of isolated rural community is proposed with the combination of locally available energy resources. The model comprises of a PV/battery/wind and diesel generator. The microgrid realized in the cluster of the village of Uttrakhand state of India. The residential load of the community investigated using the HOMER energy for the least cost and optimal design. The solar, wind potential, and diesel generator used to perform the economic and feasibility study of the suggested model. The net present cost (NPC) and cost of energy (COE) analyzed for the hybrid system. Further model investigated utilizing the sensitivity of different parameters such as variation in diesel price intermittency in solar and wind potential. The study compares the performance of the system and suggests a viable configuration for the rural community.
