Coastal Areas: A Standalone Solar Wind Diesel Hybrid Energy System

Abstract

Access to power at all times has become essential for a nation's sustained development in the modern era. One of the main obstacles to Bangladesh's economic growth is the power crisis. Bangladesh does not have a reserve for fossil fuels. In Bangladesh's coastal regions, the abundance of renewable energy sources, such as wind and sun, offers prospects for hybrid energy systems based on renewable energy. Energy production using a hybrid system lowers generation costs and contributes to energy cost parity. Once more, a hybrid energy system with independent renewable energy will lower grid load demand and be environmentally benign. This study suggested an affordable standalone solar-wind-diesel hybrid power system architecture for a Bangladeshi coastal region. A hybrid power system simulation was conducted while taking into account various variables for a coastal area design. A thorough economic analysis and comparison with diesel- and solar-powered energy systems make it abundantly evident that the suggested hybrid power system is a financially sensible option for Bangladesh's coastal regions.
