A Power Generation Study Using a Hybrid Model of Solar and Wind Energy

Abstract

With a large number of cities and villages, India is the second  highest populated country in the world. In India, villages still  house a sizable percentage of the people. To better their  socioeconomic situation, small cottage businesses that may  employ local residents should be developed. The industries  included in the programme are small cottage businesses that  operate during the day and close at night. These businesses  need a steady supply of electricity. However, due to its  geographic constraints, the area has seen a significant loss of  supply and has frequently finding electricity inadequate to run  the equipment. As a result, industry expansion would be  impeded, and local residents' development would be affected.  Renewable energy, on the other hand, may be produced and  utilized on-site, enhancing supply reliability. They have a  cheap operating cost because they are renewable in nature.  However, because renewable energy output is entirely dependent on weather conditions, a battery bank must be used  as a backup.. This backdrop describes a way for combining  solar PV with wind energy. The system considers integrating  solar PV and wind energy to satisfy demand because they  compliment each other in nature. The software may be used  independently. The system runs several permutations of the  model to find the most optimum model capable of providing  consistent, acceptable quality, and cost-competitive electricity.  The strategy also researches and analyses the degree of  renewable penetration to minimize carbon footprint,  investigates combinations to reduce capital investment, and  focuses on decreasing the levelized cost of energy.
