Techno-Economic and Environmental Analysis of Wind-Diesel Power System

Abstract

This paper discusses the economic analysis and environmental impacts of integrating a photovoltaic (PV) array into diesel-electric power systems for remote villages. MATLAB Simulink is used to match the load with the demand and apportion the electrical production between the PV and diesel-electric generator. The economic part of the model calculates the fuel consumed, the kilo watt hours obtained per gallon of fuel supplied, and the total cost of fuel. The environmental part of the model calculates the particulate matter (PM), NOx and CO2 emitted to the atmosphere. Simulations were performed for three cases: 1) diesel only; 2) diesel-battery; and 3) PV with diesel-battery using a one-year time period. The simulation results were utilized to calculate the energy payback, the simple payback time for the PV module, and the avoided costs of CO2, NOx, and PM Ghanshyam Jayswal | Gagan Deep Yadav"Techno-Economic and Environmental Analysis of Wind-Diesel Power System" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-1 | Issue-4 , June 2017, URL: http://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd157.pdf http://www.ijtsrd.com/engineering/electrical-engineering/157/techno-economic-and-environmental-analysis-of-wind-diesel-power-system/ghanshyam-jayswal
