Renewable Energy Based Hybrid Power System Design For Hilly Area in Bangladesh

Abstract

Access to minimal expense energy has become crucial for the working of contemporary economies. Dangers to worldwide energy security exemplify political flimsiness of energy producing nations, control of energy gives, and rivalry over energy sources, assaults on give framework, moreover mishaps and cataclysmic events. The safety of electrical power might be a significant factor in the progression of agricultural nations like Bangladesh. With the event of demand electricity will increase. The work of petroleum derivatives in creating energy isn't exclusively diminishing these attached assets at high speed anyway, but it conjointly affects the climate. During this situation, taking advantage of environmentally friendly power to plan crossover power frameworks is both expense upgrading and climate amicable. In this paper, we conduct a viability analysis to explore the potentiality of green energy to the hilly areas like Bandarban, Khagrachari, Rangamati in Bangladesh. For our research we choose Bandarban. During this paper, an endeavor is taken to design a system with a lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE) with a higher renewable fraction. For our system the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is $0.126 with net present cost is $259,976. By using HOMER software, an optimum configuration is established from this hybrid power system. This paper may be an ideal example for an effective power solution for hilly areas in Bangladesh.
