Abstract

The world population is growing and so is the demand for energy mainly, for industrialization and urbanization thus calling for the utilization of renewable energy sources. This paper involves techno-economic and environmental assessment aligned with sustainable development goals achieved using HOMER software to determine the best hybrid system for the considered off-grid areas in Pakistan. The study finds that the most suitable solutions include: Technical, economic, and environmental analyses of decentralized renewable energy systems in Punjab ($755,510 NPC, 0.153 $/kWh LCOE), Sindh (PV-DG-W-BESS $74,887 NPC, 0.141 $/kWh LCOE), Balochistan (PV-DG-BESS $80,891 NPC, 0.173 $/kWh LCOE), Kashmir (PV-DG-BESS $85,875 NPC, LCOE $0.161). Sensitivity analysis on the discount rates with the ranges of 9.75%, 15%, 21%, 27%, shows considerable effects on the costs like NPC and the LCOE. The proposed systems provide energy efficiency ranging from 92% to 98% and renewable energy fractions along with a mitigation effect of up to 87% in greenhouse gas emissions. Cost analysis further established high IRR, ROI, and low payback period affirming the cost-effectiveness of hybrid microgrids.

一个综合评估框架，用于评估可再生能源建筑部门在不同气候区的偏远/离网地区的实施情况

世界人口在增长，对能源的需求也在增长，主要是工业化和城市化，因此要求利用可再生能源。本文涉及技术经济和环境评估，与使用HOMER软件实现的可持续发展目标相一致，以确定巴基斯坦考虑的离网地区的最佳混合系统。研究发现，最合适的解决方案包括：旁遮普（755,510美元NPC， 0.153美元/千瓦时LCOE）、信德省（PV-DG-W-BESS） 74,887美元NPC， 0.141美元/千瓦时LCOE)、俾路支省（PV-DG-BESS） 80,891美元NPC， 0.173美元/千瓦时LCOE)、克什米尔（PV-DG-BESS 85,875美元NPC， LCOE 0.161美元）分散式可再生能源系统的技术、经济和环境分析。对9.75%、15%、21%、27%范围内的贴现率进行敏感性分析，发现对NPC和LCOE等成本影响较大。拟议的系统提供92%至98%的能源效率和可再生能源部分，同时减少高达87%的温室气体排放。成本分析进一步确立了高内部收益率、投资回报率和低投资回收期，肯定了混合微电网的成本效益。
