Techno-economic study is needful to optimize the usage of renewable energy components that targeting low cost of electricity generation system. The selected case study area is coastal area in Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia. The autonomous system designed in this study is hybrid standalone PV-wind-diesel energy system to fulfil a 20.1 kWh/day demand for a coastal housing. Such power system was designed and optimized further to meet the power demand at a minimum cost of energy using energy optimization software, Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER). The analysis was focused on the operational characteristics, economics and environmental. The standalone PV-wind-diesel energy system has total net present cost about $61, 911 with cost of energy $0.66/kWh. Apparently, the generation of electricity from both wind turbine and PV was inflated with the diesel generator system. From the payback period calculation, time taken to recover full capital invested through the installation of hybrid PV-wind-diesel is six years. Moreover, the installation of diesel generator should be optimizing in order to mitigate the environmental emissions

The off-grid hybrid renewable energy generation system has lesser cost of energy with higher reliability when compared with solar photovoltaic (PV) or wind energy system individually. The optimization design is worked out by reducing the unit cost of energy (UCOE) for different case studies and comparing the outcomes obtained by the use of HOMER-Pro (Hybrid Optimization Model of Electric Renewable) software. The optimal cash flow analysis of hybrid energy system is based on the load patterns is discussed, solar irradiance (kW/m2) of site at proper latitude and longitude, wind speed and price of diesel, which is collected from a remote village in Khurda District, Odisha in India. Moreover, the optimization and sensitivity results of the system are find out by varying the input parameters like solar radiation, wind speed etc.


The global climate change and rapidly growing population over the decades are creating an enormous burden on conventional energy sources. Global environmental concern is expected for the proper planning of renewable sources to increase a positive impact on global warming. The hybrid renewable energy system is proposed for optimum sizing, costing, quality, and reliability of supply for the standalone system. This research study also includes a multi-objective optimization of the Net Present Cost (NPC)t, fuel cost, operating cost, and Cost of Energy of the hybrid system. A hybrid renewable energy system has been designed, which includes solar, wind, battery, and diesel generator for a standalone off-grid. The simulation and techno-economic analysis of case studies indicate that the hybrid system decreases the operating cost according to meteorological conditions. The employed algorithm, for power management, results in minimum use of diesel generator and a reduction in fuel cost. Furthermore, the proposed system shows better results when analyzed for Loss of power supply probability, Renewable factor, Carbon content, and Sensitivity. Thus, the proposed model proves that minimum utilization of diesel generator requires maximum utilization of renewable energy sources, thereby reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and reducing global warming.

<p>The co-ordination of non-conventional energy technologies such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and ocean are gaining significance in India due to more energy requirements and high greenhouse gas emission. In this assessment, the sustainability of emerging the gird isolated hybrid solar photovoltaic (PV)/wind turbine (WT)/diesel generator (DG)/battery system for Arunai Engineering College (India) building is evaluated. The techno- economic and environmental research was inspected by HOMER Pro software by choosing the optimal combination depends on size of the components, renewable fraction, net present cost (NPC), cost of energy (COE) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission of the hybrid system. From the acquired outcomes and sensitivity investigation, the optimal PV-WT-DG- Battery combination has a NPC of $28.944.800 and COE $0.1266/kWh, with an operating cost of $256.761/year. The grid isolated hybrid system is environmentally pleasant with a greenhouse gas emission of 2.692 kg/year with renewable fraction of 99.9%.</p>

The emerging environmental consequences of overdependence on fossil fuels have pushed many countries to invest in clean and renewable sources of power. Countries like Iran where these sources can be found in abundance can take advantage of this potential to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. This study investigated the feasibility of the standalone use of a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) to power buildings in the Bostegan village in the Hormozgan province of Iran. Technical, economic, and environmental assessments were performed with the help of the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) software, and the optimal configuration for the system components was determined accordingly. The results showed that the simultaneous use of wind and solar systems with a converter and a backup system comprised of a diesel generator and batteries will be the most economic option, offering electricity at a cost of 1.058 USD/kWh and with a renewable fraction of 64%. After selecting the most optimal system using the step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) and weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) techniques, a sensitivity analysis with 27 parameter settings was performed to determine the effect of fuel price fluctuations and the uncertainty in the renewable energy potentials on the results. This analysis showed that in the worst-case scenario, the price of electricity will reach as high as 1.343 $/kWh. In the end, the study investigated an alternative scenario where the generated power is used for hydrogen production, which showed that the system output can be used to produce 643.63 ton-H2/year.


Taking into consideration of continuously increasing consumption of the electricity and perturb towards environmental issues, renewable energy sources have been broadly used for generation of electricity. A Hybrid Energy System can be elucidated as systems which consist of various energy sources such as wind, solar, fuel cell, diesel generator and storage systems such as batteries to store energy are integrated and interconnected to satisfy the load energy demand. This paper infers the generation of electricity by utilizing the Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES). This paper presents the modelling and future challenges of the HRES.
