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.
