Abstract

The use of renewable energy sources (RESs) is increasing every day to meet increasing energy demands and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. When designing hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs), it is necessary to examine their technical, economic, and environmental feasibility. In this study, a new strategy is proposed using the HOMER Matlab Link (ML) connection for an HRES model consisting of a photovoltaic (PV) system, a wind turbine (WT), a biogas generator (BGG), and a battery storage system (BSS) designed to meet the electrical energy needs of Doğanevler village located in the rural area of Bingöl province. The data obtained as a result of the proposed strategy (PS) are compared with HOMER’s loop charging (CC) and load following (LF) optimization results. According to the PS, the optimum capacity values for the HRES components are 10 kW for WT, 10 kW for PV, 8 kW for BGG, 12 kWh for BSS, and 12 kW for the converter. According to the optimum design, 16,205 kWh of the annual energy produced was generated by PV systems, 22,927 kWh by WTs, and 22,817 kWh by BGGs. This strategy’s NPC and LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) values are calculated as USD 130,673.91 and USD 0.207/kWh, respectively. For the CC dispatch strategy, the NPC and LCOE values are calculated as USD 141,892.28 and USD 0.240/kWh, while for the LF dispatch strategy, these values are USD 152,456.89 and USD 0.257/kWh. The CO 2 emission value for the system using a BGG was calculated as 480 kg/year, while for the system using a DG, this value increased approximately 57 times and was calculated to be 27,709 kg/year. The results show that the PS is more economical than the other two strategies. The PS provides energy security, reduces costs, and increases environmental sustainability. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was conducted based on the availability of renewable resources, fuel cost, and inflation parameters, and the results were analyzed.
