Abstract
With a large and growing population, the demand for electricity is increasing which results in the emissions of greenhouse gases that also increasing. In India, a major portion of the power is generated from fossil fuel-based conventional resources which emit greenhouse gases. The Indian electricity sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gases, and these greenhouse gases are responsible for the dangerous impacts of climate change like floods, drought, storms, etc. In order to reduce the impacts of climate change, the use of clean energy sources needs to be increased. In this chapter, a grid-connected hybrid energy system is designed utilizing solar power, wind power, battery, and gas generator as a backup system. This hybrid system is analyzed for four different areas of India based on their real-time data of climatic conditions. This hybrid system is deliberately planned, so that there will be a little emanation of carbon, as carbon emanation is one of the primary causes behind the environmental change. This chapter also explains the role of renewable energy-based hybrid power system to combat climate change. This optimization analysis estimates the amount of production of electrical energy, per unit cost of energy, and the total installation cost of the hybrid energy system. The proposed hybrid system is most profitable in Kavaratti, where its levelized cost of energy is 0.688 $/kWh. This chapter will contribute toward the dream of making India pollution free.
