Sizing Design a Hybrid PV-Wind System with Battery Storage using IHOGA Simulator
Main Article Content
Abstract
Renewable energy sources offer a viable solution to meet energy demands while simultaneously reducing environmental pollution from conventional power plants. However, the inherent variability of weather conditions renders reliance on a single energy source inadequate. Therefore, a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES), incorporating both solar and wind energy, along with battery storage, is necessary. This study investigates the techno-economic aspects of a hybrid system in an isolated area in Adrar, Algeria, employing the IHOGA (Improved Hybrid Optimization by Genetic Algorithms) software to yield noteworthy results. The system design includes a 4.4 kW photovoltaic array, a 0.92 kW wind turbine, a 56.16 kWh battery bank, and a 3000 W inverter. The loads are proposed for the region, which has an average annual energy consumption of 2554.9778 kWh/year. The simulation results reveal the total system cost Net Present Cost (NPC) over a 25-years lifespan, level cost of energy plus CO2 emissions, and environmental impacts.
