Thus PV saturation in GA is more cost effective than the HOMER. Index Terms: HOMER, hybrid energy system, Micro-hydropower. Compared to HOMER, GA based HRES of combination-1( biogas+biomass+solar+ wind+ fuel cell with battery) is found to be the optimal solution supplying energy with 0% unmet load at the least cost of energy, which is at $ 0.163 per KWH. on modeling, simulation and optimization of renewable energy system in rural area in. Finally, a comparative analysis is performed between the GA and HOMER. A sensitivity analysis is also performed on the best possible solution to the study for changes in annual wind speed and biomass fuel prices.
The results of the two methods are compared with four combinations of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES). The main objective of this paper is to reduce the Total System Net Preset Cost (TNPC), Cost of Energy (COE), unmet load, CO 2 emissions using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and HOMER Pro Software.
The technical per- formance of the hybrid system is simulated by using the software HOMER Pro. The process of optimizing such hybrid energy system control, sizing and choice of components is to provide it with a cost effective power solution for the society. and Forecasting Model (WRF) tool for weather prediction. The project under consideration is for electrifying a group of three villages in Kollegal block of Chamarajanagar district, Karnataka State in India using an off-grid hybrid renewable energy system. The International Hydropower Association (IHA) was founded a quarter of a century ago in 1995. systems, batteries, wind turbines, micro-turbines, hydropower. Energy required by remote village areas can be met quite reliably by hybrid energy technologies. uses of HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable) software package can be. The HOMER energy modeling software is a powerful tool for designing and analyzing hybrid power systems, which contain a combination of conventional generators, cogeneration, wind turbines, solar.
