By the sensitivity analysis, it is proved that the cost of energy, net present cost and operating cost was reduced to half of the actual cost, except the capacity shortage in Thirupullani area.Keywords: Solar and Wind Energy, HOMER, Potential Analysis, Ranking StatusĪbstract: In most of the developing countries like India and South Africa, there exists still many remote places (isolated from the grid) where the electrification is unavailable due to the financial aspect related to establishing the infrastructure to distribute power over a long distance and consequent high transmission losses. The preliminary investigation indicates that Thirupullani area is the potential area for standalone hybrid renewable energy system among the five coastal areas identified. HOMER has been used in this paper for optimization result and for sensitivity analysis. The wind and solar resources data are collected from NASA’s surface meteorology and solar energy resource. The consumer demand data are collected through the local distribution agency for the identified coastal areas. The sensitivity analysis is also conducted. The various coastal areas identified for this are Kilakarai, Mandapam, Thirupullani, Kadaladi and Rameswaram in Ramanathapuram District of Tamilnadu State, India. The investigation are based on the optimization result and ranking status. The climatic variations at Yanbu that is located on the west coast of Saudi Arabia are considered.Ībstract: This paper attempts an investigation of the potential area of the standalone hybrid (solar and wind) renewable energy source. This study is to evaluate the actual cost of RE sources in developing countries. The cost of energy is compared in the three systems to compare the generated energy cost. The lab represents a hybrid system, composed of PV, wind turbine, and Fuel cell systems.

According to that the renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic, wind, biomass, etc… have an important role especially when the (high-tech.) new technologies can interfere. In the hot and sunny areas of the Arab countries, renewable sources like solar energy can play a role to slove energy problem. Renewable Energy (RE) applications and energy savings are keys to meet this challenge in a sustainable way.

The initial size of the hybrid system is PV-120kW, Diesel generator -100kW and battery storage of 200kWh after modelling and simulation with HOMER software using special models to show the predicted performance of the final outcome, the optimal size created has a PV size of 100kW, diesel generator with a size of 100kW and battery storage of 100kWh and compared to the initial system COE od 1.01$/kWh, the optimal size has a COE of 0.934$/kWh.Ībstract: The continuous rise of energy demand worldwide combined with the decrease of natural resources such as fossil fuel represents a huge energy problem which facing humanity. The cost parameters that will be addressed are - Net present cost (NPC), Cost of Energy (COE), Capital cost (CC). This research study will be done basing on a system currently installed at the School of Renewable Energy, Naresuan University (SERT), this system has a capacity of 120 kW, and it is a hybrid system with PV array, Diesel generator and battery storage system. The requirement is to obtain an optimal size that can meet energy demand at an optimized cost for a given lifetime period of the project, this will be achieved using HOMER software to further improve the system parameters like performance ratio, renewable energy fraction, MATLAB will be used. Abstract: In this research paper, an illustration for system size optimization for a stand-alone PV – diesel hybrid system is obtained.
