An On-Grid Wind Turbine Power Plant Model and Simulation For A Particular Location In Bangladesh

Abstract

Wind energy is a renewable resource that Bangladesh has, and we should try to use it to meet the country's electricity needs. As a clean energy source, wind power has great potential to contribute to Bangladesh's sustainable development goals. This article gives a thorough analysis contrasting the viability of wind turbine power systems for power generation in a particular area in Bangladesh, as part of the search for sustainable and renewable energy alternatives. Seven different places were looked at to determine which was the most effective. We chose Teknaf as the target area because of its distinctive geographic and climatic features. The HOMER Pro software is used in the study to carry out accurate simulations and economic analyses. The findings show that wind turbines have a greater potential for generating electricity in Teknaf. This area holds high wind speed, especially during specific months of the year, this is the reason for this result. Including installation costs, maintenance costs, and energy output over time are taken into consideration in the simulation and economic analysis. We calculated the economic analysis for the 25-year lifespan of the project at a 50-meter height and assumed about a 10MW load. Our proposed system can generate more than 5810MW of electricity every year. The results imply that wind energy systems help achieve sustainable energy goals and that wind turbines offer an efficient and economically feasible choice for generating power in Teknaf.
