ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to investigate the application of standalone solar / Wind hybrid system with diesel generator and battery bank as a backup for poultry farm at Chafe Sadi where grid extension is not cost effective due to the infrastructure of the village. The infrastructure of Chafe Sadi and the corresponding system cost are the main concerns for designing the hybrid power generation systems in this paper. The advantages of hybrid power system that combines both wind and PV power is to minimize the storage requirements and hence system costs are reduced. The hybrid system consists of Photovoltaic panel; wind turbine; diesel generator; a bank of batteries and an inverter. In this paper system configuration of the hybrid will be designed based on the farm load, solar radiation, and wind speed at Chafe Sadi. Load analysis of the farm and the households (voltage and current) will be studied in this paper. Diesel generator and lead acid batteries are used as a backup and energy storage for the solar / wind hybrid system to bridge the period of cloudy and non windy days. For optimization the comparative cost analysis of grid line extension energy source with standalone solar / wind hybrid system will be studied in detail. Keywords: Optimization, solar / wind hybrid System, inverter, Cost of Energy.
