Design, optimization, and data analysis of solar-tidal hybrid renewable energy system for Hurawalhi, Maldives

In the modern era, every country work towards sustainable development with the help of effective utilization of renewable energy system. The design and planning of multi-renewable energy system networks for Hurawalhi, Maldives, with an approximate 450.09 KW load, is proposed in this study. The first resource assessment for solar radiation, wind velocity, and the tidal range is done through linear regression and decision tree-based data analysis. Design of the system is done through the HOMER software, where the electricity production (KWh/Year) through the solar and tidal systems are 1,401,086 and 197,509, respectively. The energy generation through the proposed system is 1593.6 kWh/day (Baseline) and 2424.25 (Scaled). Cost optimization is done through the Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization and Cuckoo Optimization techniques. Further survival measurement is done through the logrank and probit analysis.
