A hybrid microgrid system is modelled using HOMER-Pro software for real-time load data and available energy sources at Elapakkam village under Ramapuram substation, Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, India. Optimization approaches are applied for the selection of rating of the physical components, including solar PV systems, diesel generators, storage batteries, converters, inverters, and economic parameters such as system cost, fuel cost, and cash flow. The daily community load profile for the year 2018 was estimated based on data from TANGEDCO. Accordingly, the total load demand for the village represented 8760 lines of hourly load. The aim of this paper is to select an optimal-sized and reliable hybrid microgrid system to meet the load demands with available energy inputs. However, a comparison based on the cost of energy (COE) and the penetration of renewable energy is carried out for different case studies in the village with the economic-feasibility analysis of various countries. From this analysis, emissions cannot be completely avoided, they could be minimized by combining existing systems with renewable energy systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
