Homer based optimization of pv-wind-grid connected hybrid system in administrative building

Abstract

Nowadays energy is considered one of the biggest challenges facing humanity, in fact, based on the growth trends the world will inevitably be resource and carbon-constrained, such is the case various research have been performed over the past years to determine the benefits of using renewable sources to supply the world’s growing energy demand with clean, safe, affordable and scalable. A large number of case studies aims to provide simulation, test results, optimization and sensitivity analysis of including different types of renewable energy sources in the system to help us understand the dynamic communications and positive impacts accomplished when consolidating the existing grid with elective vitality assets, for example, wind, sun based, bio-fuel, geothermal, and other. Following such research, this paper focus on the optimization of hybrid (solar-wind) grid-connected renewable energy systems in the administrative building. The objective of the study is to find the optimal simulation that minimizes the total net present cost of generation and cost of energy while taking into consideration the interaction between the system and the national grid. To achieve this goal the as of late discharged adaptation of the Hybrid Optimization of Electric Energy (HOMER Pro) Software was the essential displaying and recreation instrument utilized to simulate and realize Sensitivity analysis that helps assess the effect of uncertainty or changes within the variables.
