Abstract

An economic model which includes diverse sources of electric generation is proposed in this article. This model is designed for an area where adequate supply is not available. This proposed model is developed in the HOMER software scenario. In this system model, renewable energy sources (RESs) replace the conventional energy source due to their benefits. The considered RESs are solar photovoltaic (SPV) and wind turbine generating system. This is also proved by the help of simulation results. RESs being a reasonable investment and a feasible solution would be a good option for generation of electric power at remote locations. Geographically isolated remote rural areas have a large portion of country’s population. Village of Maharajganj district, Uttar Pradesh state, India, is considered here for this work. Modelling, simulation, and optimization of the proposed hybrid electric generation system for this particular village is the prime aim of this work.
