Abstract

It is an era of the world in which energy has become an integral part of our day-to-day activities. Because of the challenges imposed by climate change, the focus is on new and renewable sources of energy which opens the avenues for research based on innovative concepts. In this paper, PV-hydro-biomass hybrid power system for on/off-grid applications has been considered as an alternative model as a step toward self-sufficiency of villages in electricity. This system is selected for its low-cost, sustainable, and effective means to utilize natural resources in a rural area. The developed model is applied to the village Baheya of Ranchi district, Jharkhand. The sensitivity analysis along with the simple payback period has been carried out using HOMER Pro optimization software. The results also highlight the environmental impacts of the developed model.
