Optimization of On-Grid Hybrid Renewable Energy System: A Case Study on Azad Jammu and Kashmir

Expansion of modern power systems due to increasing energy demands face the challenges grid reinforcement cost, size and complexity, transmission losses, environmental factors. Placement renewable sources (RES) based generation addresses these challenges. However, placement location RES-based system require optimization installation operational cost with better return on investment reduction greenhouse gas emissions. This paper presents an optimized solution for be installed existing Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) region that is facing shortfall load shedding. The weather climate data from NASA National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have been used various models on-grid hybrid (HRES) are compared highlight their techno-economic benefits. An optimal photovoltaic, wind, hydroelectric energy-based proposed a significant in energy, net present initial costs, GHG Installation guarantees losses line flows improved voltage profile system.
