Techno-Economic Renewable Power Solutions For Audio Recording Studio Laboratory In A Remote Education Institution

摘要

This paper was intended towards evaluating the electricity availability, demand and alternate power solutions on the operation of a laboratory in a remote institution of India. Electricity access in the institution is currently inadequate. So the needs of the laboratory are met by conventional approaches, like diesel generators (DG), battery, etc. Electricity becomes the source of CO_2 emission, for instance when fossil fuel is combusted in power plants. Increasing consumption of conventional fossil fuel coupled with environmental degradation has led to the attention towards green energy sources. The purpose of this paper is to find the best hybrid renewable power combination from various renewable energy resources to satisfy the electrical needs of audio studio labs in Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (KITS), Karunya Nagar, Coimbatore in the state of Tamil Nadu. Hybrid optimization model for electric renewables (HOMER) software is used to find out the finest technically, economically and environmentally viable renewable based energy efficient system. The solution obtained shows that a hybrid combination SPV/WES/battery sources can be a cost effective, techno-economically viable sustainable and environmentally sound.
