| description | Typically, diesel or other fossil fuel-based related applications meet electricity demand. Nonetheless, as the cost of fossil fuels rises, as do their harmful emissions, there is a sudden transition toward stand-alone hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs). The proposed project proposes electrifying VIT University in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India, using an off-grid HRES. The goal of enhancing hybrid energy system (HES) regulation, size, and component selection is to provide society with a cost-effective power supply. This article’s primary purpose is to show how to utilize HOMER Pro Software to reduce total net present cost, cost of energy, and CO2 emissions. After that, the findings were compared to four different HRES configurations. The efficient solution for transmitting power at the lowest energy cost is configuration 1 (solar + fuel cell + battery + wind + diesel generator) which is found to be the optimal solution for supplying energy with 0% unmet load at the least cost of energy, which is at 24.91 Rs/kWh. These data are used to calculate the optimal size of energy storage components based on long-term system behavior using HOMER and to forecast short-term generation and demand changes while maintaining system dependability and grid voltage. Using and incorporating model predictive control (MPC) for an interlinking converter (ILC), the proposed HRES design is validated for the study area in a novel way that sequentially applies HOMER and MATLAB simulations. |
