Abstract
This paper examines the capability of meeting the simultaneous electricity and thermal load demand of an off-grid community with different configurations of hybrid system. The studied configurations include the solar photovoltaic, wind turbine, Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) and Li-ion battery. The model considers the utilisation of the excess energy, recovered waste heat, and different power management strategies using Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Electric Renewables (HOMER) software. With and without waste heat recovery options along with the thermal load controller are examined for meeting heating demand. Different dispatch strategies, namely Load Following (LF) and Cyclic Charging (CC), are studied and compared while sizing the hardware components of the hybrid system. The system performance is also examined under different thermal to electric…
