solar diesel hybrid storage cost vs benefit calculation in Zimbabwe

Does energy storage reduce fuel consumption in hybrid microgrid systems?

The results in Fig. 7 show the importance of combination of renewable electricity generation (PV) and energy storage (batteries) in reducing fuel consumption in the hybrid microgrid systems. The larger the capacity of the energy storage, the lower the fuel consumption and emissions.

What is the optimum design for a hybrid system?

According to Bernal-Agustin et al. , the optimum design is usually carried out by minimizing the Net Present Cost (NPC) or the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of a project using simulation and optimisation software tools available for hybrid systems.

How to choose a hybrid system sizing?

For a hybrid system sizing should consider the renewable-diesel balance that allows for maximising the use of renewable by the selection of energy sources to supply loads separately or to meet a high demand by combining all the sources at the same time .

Can hybrid generators reduce fuel consumption?

As expected, using hybrid configurations (Genset/PV/battery) reduces the fuel consumption for the three scenarios as less energy is required from the diesel generators. It is shown that using SC7-Genset, PV, and Battery (Li-ion) could achieve the lowest fuel consumption, up to 20 % reduction in the HED scenario.

How can diesel generators improve the performance of hybrid microgrids?

Improving the performance of diesel generators gives economic and environmental benefits for hybrid microgrids planning. Better interaction among diesel generators and renewable energy for rural electrification can be achieved using cost optimisation tools.

Should biofuel blends be included in a cost optimisation tool?

Including biofuel blends in a cost optimisation tool allows for assessing locally produced fuels for diesel substitution. PM 2.5 and NO X emissions influence the biofuel selection to be used within hybrid microgrids. Cost-benefit analysis helps to determine the best microgrid system configuration, considering financial and environmental aspects.
