Available Resources

Remote areas, where renewable energy systems can make their greatest impact, for the most part will not have data on the available resources. This is especially true in developing countries. Often, the designer has to estimate the resources either based on data available at similar or nearby locations or rely on qualitative information, which may be of the form :highly windy, highly variable, calm, mostly cloudy, etc. But, such information is only a snapshot and does not represent long term averages that are needed for planning. In present paper Micro Grid is planned for Makhla village in Amravati district as a rural electrification.

The Cost

Abstract Beneficiaries prefer renewable energy-based systems over grid-connected electricity. The cost of energy is viewed as the most influential factor while choosing renewable energy systems. Beneficiaries chose to stay linked with renewa­ble energy systems even when they received grid-connected electricity at a lower tariff.Net-metering and feed-in tariff mechanisms, as well as tax cuts and subsidies for renewable energy projects, could be the catalyst for fostering greater uptake of renewables in the electricity generation mix.

Hybrid Renewable Energy

Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRESs) have been touted as an appropriate way for supplying electricity to remote and off-grid areas in developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where rural electrification challenges are the most pronounced. This study proposes a two-step methodology for optimizing and analyzing a stand-alone photovoltaic/wind/battery/diesel hybrid system to meet the electricity needs of Fanisua, an off-grid and remote village of northern Nigeria. In the first step, the MATLAB environment was used to run simulations and optimize the system via the genetic algorithm. Then, techno-economic and emissions analysis was carried out in the second step to compare the proposed system to the existing traditional modes of rural electrification in sub-Saharan Africa, namely, the grid-extension and diesel generator. The break-even distance parameter was adopted in the comparison with grid-extension. Besides, the hypothetical project of replacing the diesel generator by the optimal system was analyzed using the Simple Payback Period (SPP) and Net Present Value (NPV) parameters. The resulting optimal design architecture included an 89.271-kW photovoltaic array, a 100.31-W diesel generator, and 148 batteries with a total annualized cost (TAC) and cost of energy (COE) of USD 43,807 and USD 0.25/kWh, respectively. The break-even distance found was 16.2 km, while the NPV and SPP of the hypothetical project were USD 572,382 and 2.8 years, respectively. The savings in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of the proposed system compared to the grid extension and the diesel generator were found to be 85,401.08 kg/year and 122,062.85 kg/year, respectively. This study highlighted the role that solar PV-based HRESs could play in the sustainable electricity supply in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa.

The penetration of renewable energy systems in remote areas contributes to reply to its accrued demand of electricity. Renewable energy systems as photovoltaic generation systems and wind generation systems are characterized by their unpredictable and intermittent character presenting the main drawback of these systems. Although this advantage, the problems caused by the intermittency of these systems can be resolved by employing a battery energy storage system. To this end this paper proposes and analyses an efficient and optimal methodology dedicated to applications fed by renewable energy systems. Since an optimal energy storage bank sizing is needed in order to assure the continuity and reliability of electricity supply of remote areas from these kinds of energy sources. The first part of this article describes the renewable hybrid system structure and different factors influencing the storage system dimensioning. Different scenarios of renewable sources power generations in order to develop an optimal battery bank sizing algorithm are investigated the second part of this article. The formulation of the algorithm is finally presented and discussed.
