Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the techno-economic and environmental performance of six hybrid energy systems (HESs) in Kunder Char, Bangladesh, incorporating both conventional (diesel and natural gas) and renewable energy sources (solar and wind). Using HOMER Pro software, a comparative analysis of five off-grid systems and one on-grid system are conducted for assessing their cost-effectiveness, energy efficiencies, and environmental impacts under various sensitivity conditions. After thorough evaluation the on-grid system has emerged as the most economically viable option, with a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of $0.0436/kWh and a net present cost (NPC) of $1.43 million. It also produced minimal waste energy (0.381 %) but with high CO2 emissions. In contrast, the PV-Battery setup, though the most expensive…
