Optimal Planning of Hybrid Energy System in Remote Area of Bangladesh

This paper proposed an optimal design and planning of hybrid renewable energy system consisting of wind turbines, photovoltaic modules and diesel units. The purpose of a hybrid power system is to produce energy at all times requested by consumers and reduce per unit cost of electricity. The study was performed for a remote area near Barisal, a coastal area located in Kuakata, Bangladesh. The main scenario of this paper is to investigate the entry of renewable energy technologies into remote areas electricity markets, with particular focus on a new technology. Finally, HOMER software is used to analysis the simulation result and compares the generation cost of proposed hybrid energy system with utility system.
