Optimal Design of Hybrid Renewable Energy System for a Sustainable Energy Development of a Village in Rajasthan
Nirma Kumari Sharma [2] | Rahul Mishra [5]
Abstract: This paper presents design of hybrid renewable energy system based on solar, biomass & wind energy resources. The optimization is using HOMER software to get the best & optimal operation system. Hybrid energy system is an excellent solution for power generation in rural areas where the grid extension is difficult & uneconomical. Hybrid system combines several energy systems together, it can supply high reliable electricity rather than PV/battery system or a Wind/battery system. So this paper is mainly focused on the hybrid system which consists of wind, PV/battery system, bio-mass. The main reason for choosing bio-mass system have lot of potential to utilize. The main theme of this paper is to develop hybrid energy system (mainly includes bio-mass) & develop optimal operating strategy. An optimization model has been developed for the optimal operation of the system. The system is modelling meteorological & load data collected from a typical village. The optimal hybrid system design is realized by satisfying the load demand nonlinear seasonal variations & equipment constraints. The simulations results were carried out using HOMER software.
