“…For Afghanistan, these resources could not only fulfill the current and future energy demand but also will decrease poverty by creating various jobs. Furthermore, if compared to the conventional energy sources, the environmental impact from renewables is also considerably small [9].…”

“…The conventional diesel generator is also added to the system as an ancillary and backup service, not as an option but to guarantee the power supplying during the PV and wind energy shortage or to provide the load power for a particular time. Besides, based on the accessibility to solar and wind power, diesel generator could be scheduled to manage the renewable energy output and fulfill the load requirement for a given time [9]. Furthermore, as shown in Fig.…”

Afghanistan has a tremendous resource potential of renewable energy especially solar and the wind. Therefore, utilization of these resources has a special rule for the remote areas where access to the electrical grid or secure power supply is a dream for most of the people. This paper presents a feasibility and usefulness of hybrid power generation based on PV/wind/diesel generator for an off-grid rural village that feeds the load at a rate of average 7.9 kWh/day with 1.32 kW peak load. GsT (geospatial toolkit) is used to obtain the solar and wind data of the site. Windographer software is used to analyze the wind resource data of the site. HOMER Pro software package is used to select the suitable and reliable hybrid generation system and calculate the optimal capacities and costs of the components. Through the study, it is found that this state of the art adaptation could provide vast opportunities for off-grid rural communities such as in Afghanistan where enough high penetration of renewable energy is available.
