Abstract

The distributed power generation is playing an important role for the rural electrification in developing countries like India. In this work, a hybrid model based on renewable energy sources has been developed on the basis of availability of the resources at the proposed site. This paper present the hybrid model based on biomass-biogas-solar PV to supply the electric power in rural areas of Sonipat, Haryana, India where grid supply is not available or rarely available. The hybrid system is modelled by considering various parameters associated with each system component. Different models are developed on the basis of available resources and optimised for total annualised cost (TAC) using particle swarm optimisation (PSO) approach. Obtained results shows that the TAC of the optimal configuration at 0% unmet load is $ 64,109 and the cost of energy is $ 0.065 per kWh. The results at various unmet loads are also presented and found satisfactory. The results of the proposed approach are compared with harmony search (HS) algorithm and found in the desired limits.
