TLBO based cost analysis of Renewable mix in island mode accounting employment creation and human development index

摘要

Here main goal of the paper is to consider maximization of employment creation (EC) and human development index (HDI) along with optimal sizing of renewable mix in island mode consist of solar power (SP), wind power (WP) and diesel generator power (DGP) generation units. Battery energy power (BEP) is also in role to mitigate load demand. Surplus energy generated and supplied by hybrid system may increase HDI, as HDI depends on usages of electricity. Employment creation will depends on various configuration of generating units of hybrid system and varies accordingly. The methodology was constructed by using meteorological data from Renewable Energy laboratory of Electrical Engineering department, MANIT Bhopal situated in Madhya Pradesh, India. Three different crystalline Silicon PV modules are considered: ASE-300 (mi-Si based EFG), Kyocera-120 (mc-Si based wafer) and Astro-Power AP-120 (thin-film Si). Teaching Learning based optimization (TLBO) has been applied for optimization of the considered system. Results show that AP-120 gives better result as compared with other two for PV-Wind-battery-DG combination.
