Design of hybrid renewabl power plant for electrification of small villages

Abstract

Rural and remote sites electrification, where national grid is almost impossible because of cost and geographical hurdle, is nowadays an important market for renewable energy based electricity production systems. This paper presents analyzing wind data from 5 masts using Scilab programming software calculating power densities by relative and Weibull density function, and designing hybrid power system for two villages using HOMER software, calculating their installation and operation & maintenance cost.
