Simulink Model for Cost-effective Analysis of Hybrid System
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Utilization of non conventional sources of energy to meet the present day energy requirement has become very much essential in the era of fossil fuel crises. The present paper discusses the importance of PV-Diesel hybrid system to meet electrical requirement in remote areas. A model of a photovoltaic array with diesel battery was designed by MATLAB simulink. In this paper, the cost-effective analysis which includes the fuel consumed, the energy obtained per gallon of fuel supplied, and the total cost of fuel. Simulations done for Diesel generator system, diesel-battery system and solar PV with diesel-battery system using a one-year time period. Based on simulation results energy payback period for PV array, the simple payback time for the PV module calculated. Simulation analysis includes the comparison of system cost, efficiency, and kWh per gallon with those predicted by Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER).
