Study the feasibility of a hybrid renewable energy system for power generation in Seri Iskandar

摘要

The world demand for energy is increasing every year while the fossil fuels reservoirs are limited and expected to be exhausted in few decays. Therefore, utilization of renewable energy resources is inevitable. However, to develop the infrastructures for a renewable energy system for power generation, both technical and economical evaluations are a necessity. In this paper, the feasibility of a hybrid renewable power generation, including two types of solar system, a biogas generator, and a biodiesel generator along with required battery and converter for production of 5kW electrical power is studied. The system is designed for a 20year project and the HOMER Pro program is used for system evaluation. The analysis showed that the price of biodiesel and biogas were the main controlling parameters for this project.
