Economic Analysis Of PPU Hybrid Energy Systems

Abstract

This project presents economic study for Palestine Polytechnic University electrical energy consumption as well as its electrical load,three scenario for feeding the university by electrical energy have been proposed and discussed. On grid system, the fist scenario, Photovoltaic System and Main Grid. The second scenario is Photovoltaic System, Wind Turbine and Main Grid. For the off grid system: Photovoltaic System, Wind Turbine, Diesel Generator and Batteries. In this study, Homer Software will be used, which requires the introduction of information related to electrical load and energy sources used in solar radiation, wind speed and coordinates of the location. Homer Software offers many solutions and fixes the best economic solution. We figured out that the best scenario is Photovoltaic System and Main Grid. Keywords: Hybrid power systems; renewable energy; wind energy; solar energy; batteries; optimization; sensitivity analysis; HOMER.
