چکیده
This paper presents a novel use of the HOMER Software for multi-year economic, environmental, and energetic assessment proposed multi-source standalone renewable microgrid. A rural-but-rapidly-commercializing community in Nigeria's middle belt was used as case study, with an average power demand 975 kW consumption 23.028 MWh/day. generation mix flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) array (3 MW nominal), concentrated solar thermal (CSP, 9 small hydropower (SH, up to 200 kW), battery storage (200 strings), system converter (2.5 nominal) using Oshin River recommended optimal minimizing cost electricity (LCOE) HOMER. diesel-based also simulated multiyear analysis 25-year period shows that Net Present Cost (NPC) $55.7 million microgrid is vastly superior $408 diesel microgrid, LCOE $0.26 $1.01 per kWh respectively. The saved 7540 metric tons CO2 year emissions. results study indicate economically environmentally alternative generators long term, deserving consideration similar applications.

Optimal Rural Microgrid Energy Management Using HOMER
The microgrid concept is a natural evolution of distributed resources that may be used to serve energy to customers in areas where conventional power system approaches cannot satisfy the reliability needs. Microgrids[2] may also provide support to conventional power systems that are too constrained to meet the power demands of customers. This paper presents a case study of a remote village depe...
متن کاملTechno-economic analysis of hybrid layered manufacturing
Subtractive manufacturing (CNC machining) has high quality of geometric and material properties but is slow, costly and infeasible in some cases; additive manufacturing (RP) is just the opposite. Total automation and hence speed is achieved in RP by compromising on quality. Hybrid Layered Manufacturing (HLM) developed at IIT Bombay combines the best features of both these approaches. It uses ar...
متن کاملTechno- Economic and Life- Cycle Cost Assessment of the CCHP/ PV Hybrid System Application
In recent decades, excessive using fossil fuels has been resulted in emitting greenhouse gases such as CO2, consequently, environmental pollution. In this study, the techno-economic analysis of the CCHP/PV hybrid system application for a sample building was examined to reduce the environmental pollution and primary energy consumption of the buildings. The life-cycle cost analysis was...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
A Multi-Scenario Zero-Energy Building Techno-Economic Case Study Analysis for a Renovation of a Residential Building
According to the previous pieces of research, the building sector consumes about 40 % of total yield energy and produce one-third of GHG pollution emission. This point shows the significant potential in two aspects of energy optimization and pollution reduction in this field. The purpose of this research as a case study is to construct a residential building and develop the paths for reaching a...
