DESIGNING OF A HYBRID ENERGY BASED POWER GENERATION SYSTEM FOR A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

Abstract

Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, biomass, hydropower, geothermal and ocean resources are considered as a natural option for generating clean energy. But the electricity generated from solar and wind is less than the electricity generated by fossil fuels, In spite of that, electricity generation by utilizing PV cells and wind turbine increased rapidly in recent years. This thesis is about analysis of Biomass & Solar PV based hybrid power system for a building. Comparison of hybrid energy system consists of biomass and solar energy with single sourced power system like Biomass and Solar is the main focal point of this work. Enough electricity will be produce by the hybrid system to power up an entire building by processing MSW using direct combustion technique and utilizing solar energy by using Solar PV panels, also added designing of the hybrid power system using renewable energy sources, load analysis for an entire residential building, software analysis for this micro-grid optimization working by Homer Pro software. Moreover, waste management are also within the scope of this thesis along with the Schematic diagrams of the system. This thesis also added designing of the hybrid power system using renewable energy sources, load analysis for an entire residential building, software analysis for this micro-grid optimization working by Homer Pro software. The desired hybrid system is designed to provide approximately 70- 80% of energy from the biomass, 20% from solar PV and the remaining will be reliant on main grid line.
