IV. Conclusion:
In this research work, a rural school named “Baje Fulchari Government Primary School” located in a remote area Baje Fulchari village of Bangladesh is considered and for this location the performance of a solar PV-wind-battery based hybrid renewable energy system with a backup diesel generator is evaluated using HOMER. From the simulation result the COE is found $0.125/kWh and the NPC is found USD 6,191. Both of the costs are less than conventional fuel based grid system. Moreover the proposed system is renewable energy based. It has less GHG emission compared to the conventional fossil fuel based power plants. The system proposed in this study can successfully supply the demand of the considered site with 10.468 kWh per day with 3.3 kW peak load. The most optimized system for the location is found from the simulation is a solar PV-battery based system with diesel generator backup. Though while simulation wind turbine was considered but according to the result, for the proposed location wind turbine is not the most optimized choice. In this study the problem of electricity in a remote location of the country has been solved successfully. The system proposed can not only successfully satisfy the demand of the considered location but also for locations with similar meteorological condition having the same load profile. So this study can be very much beneficial in determining the feasibility of such a system in a location similar to this. From this study it can be found that the proposed system will be economically beneficial than the extension of conventional grid as the area is remote. Further study can be done with more accurate data like measured resources value, ratings of equipment etc. and sensitivity analysis.
