Optimal Energy Management of Hybrid Generating System for Laptop Manufacturing Industry
Abstract
Fossil fuel based diesel generator and utility grid systems are used for delivering power to the industrial consumers, which increases their manufacturing and generation cost of energy. In this work, we design a (PV-Utility-BESS-DG) hybrid system for laptop manufacturing industry (LMI) by performing optimization and investigating the techno-economic possibilities of integrating solar PV within the existing UG and DG network. Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) is used for analyzing the net present cost (NPC), levelized cost of energy (LCOE), renewable fraction (RF) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The simulations and sensitivity analysis results indicates that the proposed hybrid system leads to optimal configuration which causes reduction in diesel fuel utilization, DG operating hours, LCOE and GHG emission.
