Abstract
This paper gives an overall quantitative analysis of a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) incorporating solar photovoltaic system, wind system, diesel generator and battery storage system. The system is aimed at coordination the management of the energy resources for providing the off-grid or remote facilities. The best intervention is thus to increase the consumption of renewable energy sources to minimize the reliance on diesel generators. The findings show that the hybrid system is capable of supplying different levels of power, which is pumped from the solar PV panels at maximum of 30.38 kW for the photovoltaic system at maximum solar intensity, and the wind power system to a maximum of 3213 kW of power generation under standard wind potential. The diesel generator serves a backup power source, which ranges from 91.24 kW and 864 at a rate of 250 kW during high activity and 5 kW during high-demand periods. Battery storage integration has a crucial part in matching the short-term supply-demand imbalance problem. The study suggests that the hybrid system reduces diesel use, emissions, and improves energy sustainability making the system a worthy proposition for remote areas. The findings therefore affirm the use of hybrid systems in off grid electrification since they operate economically and are eco-friendly.
