Energy Audit and Economic Analysis of Photovoltaic (PV) and Generator based Hybrid System using Homer Software

ABSTRACT

Designing an optimized hybrid power system model is considered to be one of the most challenging areas in Electrical Engineering stream. The hybrid model which is developed should be of cost effective and environmental friendly. To accomplish this task, it is of utmost importance to carry out optimization process with the help of dedicated software. Hence, in order to model a micro power optimized model, it is preferable to use Homer software which basically provides a platform to develop an eco friendly model. This paper presents a case study of grid-connected hybrid system which was exclusively developed in Homer environment and simulation results are shown. Focus is given on cost analysis and ensuring emission level control of the complete hybrid system.
