Abstract
In this study, the economic and environmental benefits of stand-alone and grid integration are thoroughly analyzed with different system configurations of a PV/Wind/Diesel/Battery based hybrid energy system (HES) for five different climatic regions using hybrid optimization model for electric renewables (HOMER). A detailed techno-economic study of optimized hybrid systems is further examined by integrating the grid-connected option. The environmental benefits of HESs are discussed. The sensitivity of various sell-back price to the national grid is also investigated. Additionally, the barriers and opportunities of installing such projects in the off-grid regions are discussed. Results indicate that the cost of energy (COE, $/kWh) and the net present cost (NPC, $) of the stand-alone hybrid PV/Diesel/Battery for the Rajshahi region are slightly lower…
