Renewable hybrid systems Iran

Can a biomass-based power plant be a reliable electrification option in Tehran?

Tehran is one of the most populous and polluted cities in Iran with a fossil fuel-dependent economy. This paper aims to assess a techno-economic and environmental feasibility of biomass-based power plant in off-grid mode to present optimal planning for reliable electrification to Tehran.

How can Homer achieve optimum configuration and techno-economic feasibility of hybrid energy systems?

In fact, In order to obtain the optimum configuration and techno-economic feasibility of hybrid energy systems, a large number of hourly simulations are performed by HOMER to reach the highest possible match between energy supply and demand for various defined hybrid scenarios .

Is a hybrid micro-grid a viable alternative to diesel-only power generation?

The cost-effective option of their proposed hybrid system had a NPC of 137,927 $, COE of 0.345 $/kWh and also carbon dioxide reduction of approximately 14 tonnes/year compared with diesel-only power generation. Azaza and Wallin, in 2017 , assessed the potential of different Swedish cities for applying a hybrid micro-grid system.

How much electricity does Iran need?

According to several reports, electricity demand in Iran is 50,000 MW, that is approximately 80 % of what is supplied by the fossil resource consumption. It has been expected that this amount will reach 200,000 MW in 2030 . Consequently, fossil energy resources will not be able to cover the growing demand .

Which hybrid system is determined by Homer software?

The fifth hybrid system determined by HOMER software is PV/WT with battery storage and power converter. The system applies 53,442 PV panels, 89 wt, 173,723 battery, and 12,077 kW power converter with a total NPC and COE of 297 M$ and 0.738 $/kWh, respectively.

What is the optimum configuration of a hybrid system?

Based on the techno-economic and environmental evaluation of proposed HRES, it is found that the optimum configuration of the hybrid system includes BG, PV panels, and WT with battery storage and power converter (see table1). In this HRES, the highest portion of generated electricity belongs to BG.
