Abstract

This research aims to provide an efficient and cost-effective renewable energy supply. It assesses the potential for photovoltaic (PV) and hydro energy in Pirthala, Haryana, India, using HOMER Pro® v3.14.2. A Hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) can continuously power 855 homes. The optimal HRES configuration comprises well-optimized PV modules, hydro turbines, converters, and batteries. The top four configurations were selected based on criteria such as net present cost (NPC) and cost of energy production (COE). The most effective HRES configuration involves a 3461-kW solar array, a 98.1 kW hydro turbine, 304 lithium-ion batteries of 100 kWh, and a 2785-kW converter, achieving a 100 % integration of renewable energy. This ideal HRES was thoroughly assessed regarding economic, technical, and renewable energy considerations. The results and the optimized HRES configuration can serve as a valuable reference for similar initiatives in rural areas, contributing to adopting renewable energy sources and enhancing energy access and reliability.

有效整合光电和水能技术，促进农村地区可持续发电：案例研究

本研究旨在提供高效且具有成本效益的可再生能源供应。它使用 HOMER Pro® v3.14.2 评估了印度哈里亚纳邦 Pirthala 的光伏 (PV) 和水能潜力。混合可再生能源系统（HRES）可为 855 户家庭持续供电。最佳 HRES 配置包括优化的光伏组件、水轮机、变流器和电池。根据净现值成本（NPC）和发电成本（COE）等标准，选出了前四种配置。最有效的 HRES 配置包括一个 3461 千瓦的太阳能电池阵、一个 98.1 千瓦的水轮机、304 个 100 千瓦时的锂离子电池和一个 2785 千瓦的变流器，实现了 100% 的可再生能源集成。我们从经济、技术和可再生能源等方面对这一理想的 HRES 进行了全面评估。评估结果和优化后的 HRES 配置可作为农村地区类似举措的宝贵参考，有助于采用可再生能源，提高能源的可及性和可靠性。
