Cost Probability and Comparison of on Grid and Off Grid PV Power Plant in Mymensingh

Abstract

Bangladesh is a developing country. the biggest problem that interrupts the developing of Bangladesh is the shortage of electricity. This mostly occurs in the rural areas of the country. Electricity has not yet reached in many nook and corners of our country. Load shading is very much responsible for making public life a misery. Load shedding creates many problems to farmers in their irrigation work, fish feeding or farming which hinders the way of economic development of this country. Lack of electricity is one of the the serious problem at Gauripur area in Mymensingh. About 100k people lives in Gauripur. The Government cannot provide enough electricity to the consumers as per their demand. So for solving the problem in Gorakhpur I want to design a 15 MW PV power house in this paper where I will use Homer software to show the power dissipation deficit for Gouripur area. I want to represent a comparative economic analysis between off grid and on grid connection of electricity generated from the solar plant. All the technical ,economic comparison and design- simulation will be done using Homer pro software by which our government would be able to deliver that demanded electricity at a lower cost ,to the consumers. I have made a comparative analysis between on grid and off grid and found out that the net cost for on grid is much lower than off grid. Reducing the price and providing sufficient amount of electricity to the people of Gauripur is the main purpose of this thesis and my results shows that the on grid system is more acceptable then any other grid system.
