Techno-economic feasibility study of autonomous hybrid wind and solar power systems for rural areas in Iran, A case study in Moheydar village

Abstract The aim of this paper is to present a feasibility study of a grid connected photovoltaic (PV) and biomass Integrated renewable energy (IRE) system providing electricity to rural areas in the Beni Suef governorate, Egypt. The system load of the village is analyzed through the environmental and economic aspects. The model has been designed to provide an optimal system configuration based on daily data for energy availability and demands. A case study area, Monshaet Taher village (29° 1′ 17.0718”N, 30° 52′ 17.04”E) is identified for economic feasibility in this paper. HOMER optimization model plan imputed from total daily load demand, 2,340 kWh/day for current energy consuming of 223 households with Annual Average Insolation Incident on a Horizontal Surface of 5.79 (kWh/m2/day) and average biomass supplying 25 tons / day. It is found that a grid connected PV-biomass IRE system is an effective way of emissions reduction and it does not increase the investment of the energy system.

Battery Energy

Recently, the interest in utilizing energy storage systems (ESSs), particularly batteries, has increased. ESSs are employed for several enhancement tasks in power systems on both the operation and planning scales. On the operation side, ESSs play a main role in offering several ancillary services. In the context of planning, ESSs are used for asset upgrade deferral among other grid applications. This work employs a battery energy storage system (BESS) to minimize the electricity bill charges associated with global adjustment for large consumers in the jurisdiction of Ontario, Canada. An optimization formulation for sizing and scheduling the BESS, to minimize the utility charges and gain profits from other revenue streams, such as energy price arbitrage (EPA), was developed and implemented. The results show the economic feasibility of the developed algorithm to minimize the annual bills of real customers and gain profits. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out to show the potential of the proposed method in providing significant benefits and gains for customers.
