Modelling & simulation of a grid connected hybrid power plant with photovoltaic, wind & diesel power for Cox's Bazar

This paper emphasis on establishing a hybrid power plant which consists of two renewable sources photovoltaic, wind energy and non renewable diesel source for the production of energy to contribute national power demand in Bangladesh. Solar power & wind power are our main source and diesel power is used as a standby power. If we will not able to fulfil our target demand, then we will use diesel energy. We consider renewable source because it provides clean energy. On the other hand, non renewable sources such as, oil, coal, gas will finish approximately within next 20 years. So, it is very necessary for us to find out new source of energy to overcome our power crisis. In this proposed system we came up with an idea to establish an environment friendly power plant combining Photovoltaic and wind energy at various sea shores throughout the country. For design and optimization, we have chosen Cox's Bazar sea shore where wind flow is available as well as solar radiation is optimal. The system is connected to national grid for contributing our national electricity demand.
