Designing and Optimizing a Hybrid Renewable Power System Using HOMER Software

Abstract

As a developing country, Now focused on renewable energy. Especially wind energy because this energy source has a great potential opportunity in the power sector. For decentralized or remote areas, where the grid connection is almost not possible, a 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 for electricity. The reduced costs of renewable energy technology and improved efficiency and reliability. The techno-economic analysis of the optimal off-grid system modeling is using HOMER software. There are energy resources are considered. Mainly wind energy besides solar energy and diesel fuel in this study is cost-effective small grid power system modeling of the wind-solar-diesel hybrid power system in the coastal area of “St Martin’s Island”. The main focus 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 alarming issue in today’s world. So we see reduce the burning of fuel and also reduced the emission of carbon dioxide. Here HOMERis used to examine the most cost-effective configurations among a set of systems for an electricity requirement of 754 KWh/day primary load with 168 KW peak load. The COE is $0.29/KWh
