Techno-economic assessment and optimal design of hybrid power generation-based renewable energy systems
This study presents a techno-economic analysis of five different hybrid energy systems (HES)-based renewable energy sources (RES) in the northern region of Saudi Arabia. It aims to provide valuable insights into the economic feasibility, technical compatibility, and environmental implications of the...

This study presents a techno-economic analysis of five different hybrid energy systems (HES)-based renewable energy sources (RES) in the northern region of Saudi Arabia. It aims to provide valuable insights into the economic feasibility, technical compatibility, and environmental implications of these systems. To carry out this analysis, hybrid optimization of multiple energy resources (HOMER) software is used. Parameters such as total net price cost (TNPC), cost of energy (COE), initial capital cost (ICC), energy generation and consumption, excess and unmet energy, renewable energy (RE) fraction, and emissions were considered to assess the different HES configurations. The findings demonstrate that the grid-connected photovoltaic/wind turbines (PV/WT) system is the best option in terms of economic perspective with TNPC and COE of $213,099 and $0.0480/kWh, respectively followed by grid-connected PV/fuel cell (FC)/WT and stand-alone PV/diesel generator (DG)/WT/battery systems.
