Design and Optimization of Hybrid Energy System for a Remote Area of Bangladesh

Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Bangladesh being the populated country and aspires to be a developed nation by 2041, Bangladesh is in race to generate electricity for economic emancipation. In Bangladesh, generation of electricity is mostly dependent on non-renewable fuels. Approximately 91.54% of electricity is produced from fossil fuels whereas 5.56% from import and the rest 2.9 % of power comes from the sources of renewable energy. To get clean energy, renewable energy option is the first requirement to replace the environment degradation fossil fuels. This paper demonstrated that by suitable designing of hybrid renewable energy electricity problem can be solved for remote area. The hybrid system combines photovoltaic, wind energy and biomass. This paper highlighted the HOMER software for analysing the system performance from optimization and economic aspect. By HOMER simulation, combination of Solar PV, wind and biogas are considered as best option where the NPC is BDT 299,121,664 and COE is BDT 38.071 tk/Kwh.
