SOLAR PV-DG HYBRID PLANT THE NEW WAVE BEGINS

- CO2BIN ENERGY SOLUTIONS

Energy is vital for sustaining life on earth.

Energy problem is thus synonymous to ecological and

economical problems.

Grid, batteries and Diesel Generators have been the

most common available options for obtaining power for

running of equipment & electricity consuming entities

But None of them ensures a completely stable availability

or total financial feasibility

The need for Energy

The need for a Hybrid System

As during grid or mains unavailability , we need to shift to

these sources of alternative power generation to keep

our businesses moving

Diesel generators are the most handy and readily

available option till now but present problems with

• High operating expenses

• Rising diesel costs

• High maintenance costs

And turning completely to Solar PV system cannot ensure

reliability on rainy or cloudy days

Proposed Solution- Hybrid System

With benefits of cheaper PV electricity and reliable DG

set generated electricity

We integrate both the Solar PV and existing diesel set with

the help of a PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CIRCUIT to ensure

the most economic, reliable and uninterrupted power

supply . So that your business does not lose

Solar PV – DG set HYBRID SYSTEM

• Pure diesel generator system consume too much

fuel and price of diesel is subject to increments

• DG needs frequent replacement and maintenance

• Pure solar system require much larger initial

investment

• Pure solar system lack reliability when facing long

periods of rainy days

Value propositions

Why do you need to shift right now?

DEMERITS of DG based power solution

• Pollution

• Smoke, noise, Heat

• Dependence on fuel

• world-wide increase of oil prices; limited resources in future

• Transportation to the sites

• long distances and cost intensive transports

• Storage of the fuel at site

• safety problems - explosions, vandalism

• No unattended operation is possible

• high personnel cost

• High maintenance cost and limited life-time of DG

Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems

On the other hand, the proposed renewable energy based system helps in:

• Decrease environmental pollution

• Reduction of air emission

• Energy saving

• Reduces production and purchase of fossil fuels

• Abatement of global warming

• CO2 and other green house gases are not produced

• Socioeconomic development

• Develops employment opportunities in rural areas

• Fuel supply diversity

• Diversity of energy carriers and suppliers

• Distributed power generation

• Reduces requirement for transmission lines within the electricity grid

Technological aspects

A Hybrid energy systems combine Solar PV and Diesel power generation systems that

when integrated, overcome limitation in either of the systems.

The main reason integrating renewable energy sources in a hybrid system is primarily

to save expenditure on diesel.

Hybrid system can be configured in three different ways:

• Grid connected off-grid with distribution system and for direct supply. The first configuration is able to rely on grid if the hybrid system has problems.

Similarly feeding the power to the grid, thereby, boosting the voltage and minimizing

power cuts strengthens the grid.

• For off-grid configurations, the hybrid can either be connected to many load centres or can act as a source of supply for one or two loads, thus avoiding the

need of a distribution system.

• An isolated off-grid system is usually used to charge batteries or supply power to small rural industry/households.

How does PV-DG hybrid system work?

HOMER:

• The system sizing is carried out using HOMER-optimization and simulation

software tool. The hybrid system for technical institutes are implemented in

HOMER .

• Analysis with HOMER requires information on resources, economic

constraints, and control methods.

• It also requires inputs on component types, their numbers, costs, efficiency,

longevity, etc.

• Sensitivity analysis could be done with variables having a range of values

instead of a specific number.

How does PV-DG hybrid system work?

System Details & controls

• Solar PV based renewable power plant with PV, Battery and

DG as backup sources

• Hybrid controller to implement the energy sources

changeover logic based on optimal energy management

strategy.

• Automatic mode of operation in the hybrid controller for PV

and DG changeover operations.

System Outline

Commercialization Prospective

• Net present value = Total lifetime savings – Total

lifetime investment

• Savings include revenue generated from the

hybrid PV system by replacing the DG-battery

system and savings in the operational cost of the

system.

• Investment includes the extra first cost which is the

difference between the Capex of the hybrid PV

system and the Capex of the DG-Battery system

COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS

• CAPEX for hybrid PV system to meet 4kW peak

load will around 5 Lakh INR

• The lifetime of both the systems considered to be

30 years.

• Economic analysis for different scenarios gives

payback period between 3-5 years

COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS

Financial comparison

Hybrid PV system:

• CAPEX is the total initial cost of the system.

• OPEX in case1 =1% of CAPEX+ 100% of Battery cost in every 5

years +operating cost of DG @Rs 50/hr.

• OPEX in case2 =1% of CAPEX+ 100% of Battery cost in every 5

years+100% of DG cost in every 15 years + operating cost of DG

@Rs 50/hr.

Normal DG system:

• CAPEX is the total initial cost of the system.

• OPEX =2% of CAPEX+100% of Battery cost in every 5 years+100% of

DG cost in every 8 years + operating cost of DG @Rs 50/hr.

The lifetime of both the systems was considered to be 30 years.

The present diesel cost to be taken = Rs 50/litre.

The annual escalation in diesel cost is @ 10 %
