Potential Assessment of Solar and Wind in Himachal Pradesh, India

Abstract India is second in population with 1.3 billion people 2022. A large means a huge electricity consumption. Renewable energy—hydropower, solar, wind, etc.—supplies 37% of India’s power requirement 2021. Coal, crude oil, nuclear power, natural gases, and others make up the rest. Due to continued exploitation conventional resources, we have had develop convert renewable energy alternatives. Solar wind are among easiest cheapest green sources. Thus, must promote eco-friendly production reduce pollution greenhouse gases. In Khajjiar, Himachal Pradesh, solar panels turbines may provide energy. Based on results optimization, best solution use parts an NPC $41,338. Table 9 shows that proposed system needs 7 kW PV panels, 1.9 converter, 10 battery. The levelized COE $0.65, OC $1047.
