Optimization of Hybrid Microgrid of Renewable Energy Efficiency Using Homer Software
Abstract
This paper focuses on modelling an optimization of hybrid microgrid of renewable energy efficiency
with HOMER software, using solar photovoltaic power (PV), wind power for a real time data of
selected location which has future use in relation to increased demand for energy. The size of hybrid
microgrid system components and factors like system cost, fuel cost, cash flow, and stability must all
be optimized. The optimal sizing of Hybrid Microgrid system (PV/Wind) is conducted for our college
campus. The cost of energy is based on peak load demand profiles considered for residential,
industrial, commercial sectors and fuel cost, initial capital cost and operational and maintenance
cost. It is also essential that hybrid system modules of optimal specifications be selected to ensure the
minimal energy cost and efficiency of all load demands.
