Optimization of cost analysis of Mini-Grid hybrid Power System Using HOMER Software

Abstract

As a developing country, Now focused on renewable energy. Especially Wind energy because this energy source great potential opportunity in power sector. For decentralized or remote areas, where grid connection is almost not possible, renewable energy generation system coupled with diesel engines can be a reliable and optimized source of energy. Bangladesh has to deal with the increasing demand of electricity.The reduced costs of renewable energy technology and improved efficiency and reliability.The techno-economic analysis of the optimal off-grid system modelling is using HOMER software.There are energy resources are considered,Mainly Wind energy beside solar energy and Diesel fuel.In this study,a cost effective mini-grid power station modelling of Wind-Solar-Diesel hybrid power system in a coastal area of Patenga.The main focused of this proposed optimized design is to supply the maximum load demand using renewable energy sources with the minimum cost of energy (COE).Global warming is an alerming issue in todays world. So,We see reduce the burning of fuel and also reduced the emission of Carbon-dioxide. Here, HOMER is used to examine the most cost effective configurations among a set of systems for electricity requirement of 80KWh/day primary load with 18KW peak load.The COE is $0.196/KWh.
