hybrid solar storage cost vs benefit calculation in Ghana

Can a solar PV/biogas/battery hybrid energy system provide electricity in Ghana?

This study analyses the prospect of utilising a solar PV/biogas/battery hybrid energy system to provide electricity for Ghana’s remote communities. The study goal is to utilise locally available renewable energy resources to achieve a cost-effective levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

How much does energy cost in Ghana?

This system has a Cost of Energy (COE) of 0.399 $/kWh and an NPC of $296,552. Although this COE is approximately three times the current energy cost in Ghana, sensitivity analysis shows that changing certain parameters such as fuel costs, and capital subsidies can reduce COE.

What are the evaluation criteria for PV/diesel/battery storage hybrid systems?

The evaluation criteria include net present cost (NPC), cost of energy (COE) and emissions. The results indicate that PV/diesel/battery storage hybrid system is the most feasible, optimized, cost-effective and environmentally friendly system among the systems considered. This system has a Cost of Energy (COE) of 0.399 $/kWh and an NPC of $296,552.

Do green energy incentives improve the financial viability of hybrid systems?

Green energy incentives such as capital subsidies significantly improve the profitability or financial viability of hybrid systems. Figure 3. Effect of a grant on payback period under different tariffs conditions

Can a hybrid power system be used to electrify off-grid rural areas?

This study examines the feasibility of a stand-alone photovoltaic, diesel generator and battery storage hybrid power system for the electrification of off-grid rural areas in northern Ghana. The HOMER software package was used for simulation analysis. Five optimization scenarios considered feasible by HOMER were evaluated.

Can hybrid PV and diesel generators be used for rural electrification?

Solar energy, in particularly, stands out as one of the cleanest energy sources and is gaining popularity the world over. This research investigated the technical and economic viability of using hybrid PV and diesel generator systems for rural electrification in northern Ghana.

This study investigated the feasibility and sustainability of standalone hybrid energy systems for rural electrification in Ghana. The problem addressed was the lack of electricity access in rural areas of Ghana, despite progress in increasing access rates in urban areas.
