Abstract

Hybrid energy power system is built in many rural areas where the limited non-conventional energy sources are available due to higher transportation cost. Higher maintenance cost is one of the most reasons for diesel generators are very expensive for this area. This paper investigates cost and size optimization model for hybrid (solar, wind and diesel) power system demonstrate with Hybrid Optimization for Electric Renewable (HOMER) software. We present hybrid power system contain solar, wind and diesel power generation with battery storage for Jamnya Van village dist. Barwani in Madhya Pradesh, India. System designed based on site empirical weather and load data. We optimize a problem to minimize total net present cost, operating and running cost of the hybrid system.
