Techno-Economic Design of a Combined Heat and Power Microgrid for a Remote Community in Newfoundland Canada

Abstract: Around 300 remote communities in Canada rely on diesel for their energy needs, a situation associated with high costs, high emissions, and accessibility problems. Various studies have addressed this problem by proposing renewable energy microgrids, which have a lot of potential due to the abundance and availability of renewable sources. However, there is a lack of studies regarding remote communities in Newfoundland and combined heat and power microgrids. This study chose Cartwright remote community based on c… Show more

“…The optimal sizing of a biomass-based DG was discussed based on gasifier, solar PV, and a battery bank using TE analysis approach [23]. Similar existing studies have also been reported in [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] which are based on TE analysis approach for DG systems, most of which considered renewable energy and conventional resources and performance analyses.…”

“…This system, with an LCOE of 0.37 USD/kWh and an NPC of USD 357,284, reduced CO 2 emissions by approximately 62% compared to the kerosene used in the current system and 67% versus the grid system. Utilizing the advanced capabilities of HOMER software, the authors of [17] innovatively integrated distributed and centralized generation, thereby incorporating a solar thermal system with five other technologies. Focusing on a seldom-addressed CHP microgrid design for a remote community in Newfoundland, the study found that renewable sources can supply all electric and majority thermal loads, thus proving to be more cost-effective than a diesel-only basis.…”

“…The dataset for 2010 to 2020 is collected and divided so that the analysis is performed on the time interval of 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, and 10 years having an hourly time resolution. The dataset is accessed from the licensed version of the software Polysun [8] which provides solar irradiance values using the appropriate sensors installed at some particular locations in hourly resolution for a period of 1 year (randomly chosen year between 1996 to 2015).…”
