Study on an Economic Feasibility of Wind-Diesel Hybrid System - Case Study in Baragoi, Samburu County, Kenya

摘要

In the design of hybrid systems, there was need to consider the technological feasibility vis-a-vis economic feasibility. The research discussed in this paper analyzes the local wind resource and evaluates the economic feasibility of supplementing the current diesel-energy generation system in Baragoi village in Kenya with a wind turbine generator. This paper will cover the status of the existing energy system, the data collection, and analysis procedures for the pre feasibility portraying the resource availability. Finally the conceptual design considering the cost analysis of the hybrid wind-diesel generation system will be presented.
