Abstract

By creating hybrid energy systems and obtaining a framework that equally satisfies a continuous operation for renewable energy technology, this study presents renewable and sustainable energy options as an integral method to energy transitioning from non-renewable to renewable energy utilization in Cross River State, Nigeria. For a needed load of 2424.25 kWh/day in Cross River State, this study focused on proposing a designed hybrid energy system (HES) nexus, mitigating CO2, and appraisal of the technical and economic viability. To accomplish this, HOMER software was utilized in simulating the ideal components that suggested a HES nexus. The software enabled the selection of the optimal HES using various renewable energy sources since it predicts future electrical demand, wind speed, solar irradiation, and temperature. Economic results obtained showed that the proposed HES's Levelized cost of energy (LCOE), net present cost (NPC), and operating cost (OC) were $0.89/kWh, $10,138,702 and $134,084.37 respectively. Further technical appraisal showed that the renewable energy conversion systems (RECs) make up 78.74% of the proposed HES. The photovoltaic (PV) arrays were primarily responsible for the hybrid energy system's electricity output. The annual electrical energy output was 1,984,111kWh (89.4%), produced by the PV arrays. The generic fuel cell produced the least, at 29,957kWh/year, accounting for just 1.35% of the total electricity produced. However, the wind power plant produced 205,365kWh/year annually. Furthermore, comparing the HES with diesel-powered generators, the system achieves a net-zero carbon emission status. Therefore, it has proven to be the most reliable energy as it will solve the problem of energy demand and reduces carbon emissions in Cross River State, Nigeria
在尼日利亚克罗斯河州利用拟议的混合能源系统联系进行发电和减少二氧化碳排放的技术和经济评价
通过创建混合能源系统并获得同样满足可再生能源技术连续运行的框架,本研究提出了可再生能源和可持续能源选择,作为尼日利亚克罗斯河州能源利用从不可再生能源向可再生能源过渡的整体方法。针对克罗斯河州2424.25千瓦时/天的需求负荷,本研究重点提出了一种设计的混合能源系统(HES)联系,减少二氧化碳排放,并评估了技术和经济可行性。为了做到这一点,HOMER软件被用来模拟理想的组件,建议一个HES连接。该软件可以预测未来的电力需求、风速、太阳辐射和温度,因此可以使用各种可再生能源选择最佳的HES。经济结果表明,拟议的HES的平准化能源成本(LCOE)、净当前成本(NPC)和运行成本(OC)分别为0.89美元/千瓦时、10,138,702美元和134,084.37美元。进一步的技术评估表明,可再生能源转换系统(RECs)占拟议HES的78.74%。光伏(PV)阵列主要负责混合能源系统的电力输出。年发电量为1984,111千瓦时(89.4%),由光伏阵列产生。通用燃料电池的发电量最少,为29957千瓦时/年,仅占总发电量的1.35%。然而,该风力发电厂的年发电量为205,365千瓦时。此外,将HES与柴油发电机进行比较,系统达到了净零碳排放状态。因此,它已被证明是最可靠的能源,因为它将解决尼日利亚克罗斯河州的能源需求问题并减少碳排放
