“…Moreover, the proposed case presented in this study reduced the annual fuel consumption by the diesel generator by 55% from the fuel consumption of the base case. As suggested by Wesly et al (2020), electricity from diesel generators alone is expensive due to the high cost of fuel to remote and isolated areas. The authors suggested a hybrid system with a diesel generator in the mix to ensures reliability and reduces fuel consumption.…”

Hybrid power systems that combine wind and solar PV technology have been widely employed for power generation, particularly for electrification in remote and islanding locations, because they are more cost-effective and reliable than traditional power systems. This article intends to develop an environmentally friendly and cost-effective hybrid power system for selected critical loads in the Avuto community of Ghana. Following the acquisition of site data, a hybrid solar PV, wind, diesel generator, and converter analysis was conducted using HOMER software to establish the appropriate sizing of system components based on technical and economic parameters such as load served, annual electricity production, net present cost (NPC), emission, Operating cost, Fuel consumption and energy cost (COE). Based on the optimization computational results, it can be stated that the combination of system components, including solar photovoltaic, wind turbine, and diesel generator, is a good fit for the application region and might be used for rural and island electrification in the future. The suggested energy system has an LCOE of 0.39 US$/kWh for the 1.08 US$/litre diesel fuel cost and a 3.33-year payback period, with 58.8 kW for PV, 7 units for 3 kW wind turbines, 10 kW for diesel generator, and 6.99 kW for the converter. In terms of emission reduction, the proposed case presented a 55% emission reduction from the base case scenario.

“…Average daily global tilted irradiance throughout the year is derived from average daily global tilted irradiation, obtained from the Brazilian Atlas of Solar Energy [28]. This research is based on considering 4,380 hours of sunshine hours within a year, or half the annual number of hours, which results in a yearly average of 12 hours of daylight each day [34].…”

This work is mainly based on the optimal design of a standalone Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) consisting of PV/diesel/battery systems, implemented in an academic building. Different hybrid system configurations such as PV-diesel generator-battery, diesel generator-battery, and PV-diesel generator are compared based on Net Present Cost (NPC) and Cost Of Energy (COE) to find out the best economically viable and environmentally friendly solution. Li-ion and lead-acid batteries were taken into consideration, and the optimization was done in HOMER PRO software. The PV-DG-Li-ion battery configuration emits approximately 2825387kg/year CO2 whereas the conventional DG system emits 4565074kg/year. It is concluded that the PV-DG-Li-ion battery configuration provides the cleanest and most environment-friendly and techno-economically feasible solution.
