PV Hybrid System Optimization for an Island Community

Abstract

With rising price of oil and other conventional fuels, world is turning towards renewable energy to enable it to meet the growing demand for electrical power requirements. As an option, solar photovoltaic (PV) is gaining popularity, though its high initial cost is a major barrier for its widespread use. It can supply electricity, as stand alone grid connected and isolated PV hybrid energy systems. This paper discusses the techno-financial feasibility study for an electrical power supply system for a rural (island) village. The design tool HOMER was used as the sizing and optimization tool. Solar radiation and related load information are the input data required, and the procedure has been applied to the island community of Kohjig, located in the gulf of Thailand.
