Abstract

The present study investigates the potential use of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (Solar photovoltaic, wind, biomass, and diesel), both with and without the inclusion of battery/supercapacitor storage in the Bhorha village, Bihar, India. A comprehensive assessment of different possible system configurations is conducted using hybrid optimization model for electric renewable (HOMER) software to determine the most economically viable and efficient system for the designated place. The current analysis is focused on six distinct cases in the village community, in view of sufficing the daily energy requirement of 615.625 kWh and a peak demand of 86.47 kW, pertaining to major factors viz. system efficiency, financial viability, and ecological consequences. The primary aim of the research is to elucidate the comparative analysis of energy generation for different proposed designs of hybrid renewable energy systems. Detailed techno-commercial assessments are also carried out to examine the energy production, consumption, and financial impacts of each HRES configuration. The research outcome of this study obtained from HOMER software reveals that the optimized hybrid system comprises 86.7 kW solar photovoltaic, 30 kW wind turbine, 5 kW biogas generator, a 50 kW diesel generator, 280 kWh battery bank with nominal capacity, and 38.8 kW converter to sustain the for energy needs of the nominated place. This system has a minimum cost of energy of 0.309 $/kWh with a net present cost of $854894 along with operating cost 51847 $/year and net carbon dioxide emission of 56728 kg/yr. The research offers useful insights for designers, scholars, and policymakers on the existing design constraints and policies of biomass-based hybrid systems for a safe, sustainable and independent green future for the generations to come.

印度 Bhorha 村太阳能、风能和生物质能混合可再生能源系统的技术经济分析

本研究调查了印度比哈尔邦 Bhorha 村使用混合可再生能源系统（太阳能光伏发电、风能、生物质能和柴油）的潜力，包括使用或不使用电池/超级电容器存储系统。使用可再生能源电力混合优化模型（HOMER）软件对不同的可能系统配置进行了全面评估，以确定指定地点最经济可行和最高效的系统。目前的分析重点是村社区的六个不同案例，以满足每天 615.625 千瓦时的能源需求和 86.47 千瓦的峰值需求，涉及的主要因素包括系统效率、财务可行性和生态后果。研究的主要目的是阐明不同混合可再生能源系统设计方案的发电量比较分析。此外，还进行了详细的技术-商业评估，以检查每种 HRES 配置的能源生产、消耗和财务影响。从 HOMER 软件获得的研究结果显示，优化的混合系统包括 86.7 千瓦太阳能光伏发电、30 千瓦风力涡轮机、5 千瓦沼气发电机、50 千瓦柴油发电机、280 千瓦时标称容量蓄电池组和 38.8 千瓦变流器，可满足指定地点的能源需求。该系统的最低能源成本为 0.309 美元/千瓦时，净成本为 854894 美元/年，运营成本为 51847 美元/年，二氧化碳净排放量为 56728 千克/年。这项研究为设计者、学者和决策者提供了有益的启示，帮助他们了解生物质混合动力系统的现有设计限制和政策，为子孙后代创造一个安全、可持续和独立的绿色未来。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (JASTP) is an international journal concerned with the inter-disciplinary science of the Earth''s atmospheric and space environment, especially the highly varied and highly variable physical phenomena that occur in this natural laboratory and the processes that couple them. The journal covers the physical processes operating in the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, the Sun, interplanetary medium, and heliosphere. Phenomena occurring in other "spheres", solar influences on climate, and supporting laboratory measurements are also considered. The journal deals especially with the coupling between the different regions. Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other energetic events on the Sun create interesting and important perturbations in the near-Earth space environment. The physics of such "space weather" is central to the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics and the journal welcomes papers that lead in the direction of a predictive understanding of the coupled system. Regarding the upper atmosphere, the subjects of aeronomy, geomagnetism and geoelectricity, auroral phenomena, radio wave propagation, and plasma instabilities, are examples within the broad field of solar-terrestrial physics which emphasise the energy exchange between the solar wind, the magnetospheric and ionospheric plasmas, and the neutral gas. In the lower atmosphere, topics covered range from mesoscale to global scale dynamics, to atmospheric electricity, lightning and its effects, and to anthropogenic changes.
