DESIGN AND MODELLING OF WIND-SOLAR-

There is a need for alternative sustainable electric power supply system to provide electricity to rural and remote located communities. Designing a hybrid energy system with available energy sources is a complex job that involves energy resource assessment, load dispatch management, optimal design of hybrid system that would reduce overall capital cost and has a better payback. Energy resource assessment involves study of renewable energy resources at that particular location by taking scientific data into account. Load dispatch management involves studying various load patterns such as water pumping for agriculture, library building, police stations and telephone towers. Optimal design of hybrid energy system involves the definition of optimization function for the overall energy system w.r.t to cost, energy yield and minimization of grid dependence. In this work it is proposed to develop guidelines, design environment and modeling tool for the design and integration of solar, wind, diesel or biodiesel hybrid energy system for any building. PVSYST & HOMER are used for developing various models. Performance of hybrid energy system can also be evaluated
