“…The tool is used to design, simulate, and evaluate configuration options technically and financially; for off-grid and on-grid power systems; for remote, stand-alone, and distributed generation applications. Many projects around the world have been using HOMER for various purposes, such as solar PV system at a campus in Pakistan [19], battery-equipped hybrid system for family housing in Bulgaria [20], grid-connected PV system with energy storage for electric vehicle charging in residential Bangkok area [21], hybrid grid-connected microgrid in Turkey rural area [22], and various PV configurations in Saudi Arabia [23].…”

Mosque is an important building for Muslims worldwide for doing religious activities, such as daily prayers, weekly discourses, and annual celebrations. In many places, mosques are considered appropriate buildings for rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) installation. This study provides a techno-economic analysis of an on-grid PV system in a great mosque. As a case study, Masjid Tablighiyah Garegeh in Bukittinggi is chosen, which is currently under construction with an expected capacity of up to 1,400 people. This study uses HOMER software as a tool to assess optimum configuration for an on-grid PV system. There are four options that is considered in this study: PV-grid, PV-battery-grid, battery-grid, and grid only system . Optimization results showed that both configurations with PV have promising performance; however, an on-grid PV system without battery system is the most optimum configuration. A 40 kWp PV equipped with a 27 kW converter has the least net present cost with USD 6,902, while the cost of energy when implementing the system is only about USD 4.8 cent per kWh. By implementing the system, 57.2 MWh of electricity will be produced from the PV.

“…This converter ( 6) can be uni-or bidirectional. The buffer of the DC bus is shown exemplary as a large capacitor (9), realized as a supercapacitor or a battery. Only building blocks 2 and 10 are treated.…”

“…The papers [7,9] show that lead-acid batteries are still used in battery storage units. The advantages are relatively low cost and the fact that four batteries in series provide a voltage of 48 V. In the papers [9,10] lithium-ion batteries are used as a storage unit. An advantage is the higher number of possible cycles and increased lifetime compared to lead-acid batteries.…”

“…An advantage is the higher number of possible cycles and increased lifetime compared to lead-acid batteries. Additionally, the higher energy density in volume and weight can be seen as an advantage [9]. Another interesting fact is that LiFePo4 battery packs are available with a similar nominal voltage of 12.8 V as a lead-acid battery with 12 V. Classical lithium-ion battery packs are available with 14.4 V which fits not to form 48 V. Typical battery packs for smaller household applications could be formed by standard types with approximately 100 Ah [7,9].…”

Recently, the danger of a long blackout is discussed in Europe. Blackouts can be caused by failures in the energy distribution, errors in large power plants or even cyber-attacks. This can lead to a chain reaction and a disintegration of the mains. Longer blackouts have an extreme impact on the economy as a whole and on local households. Therefore, a small local grid at home which can supply the most important loads over some time has garnered increasing interest. With a small direct current (DC) grid, critical loads such as for deep freezers and refrigerators can be supplied, and some LED lights can be used in the evening or at night. Solar generators (panels) can be used to charge energy storage devices, e.g., batteries. A DC grid can not only be used in the case of an emergency, but can also be used to reduce energy consumption out of the public mains and reduce energy bills. The architecture of the household emergency DC grid is discussed; suggestions for batteries are given; two simple chargers, based on DC-DC-converters like the Buck (step-down) and on the Boost (step-up) converters, are shown; dimensioning suggestions are given; and simple, robust controllers, a P-controller with disturbance feedforward and a hysteresis controller, are treated and tested via simulations. The goal of the paper is to show a simple autonomous home energy system without an external fieldbus, LAN or internet connection with special focus on simple charger topologies.
