| Abstract |
Microgrid technologies are being developed in various ways as a way to expand the supply of renewable energy. This paper proposes a method to establish the optimal design, planning, sizing and operating a hybrid renewable energy based microgrid with the goal of minimizing the lifecycle cost, while taking into account carbon emissions. Analysis also carried out to determine a method to establish an optimal microgrid by introducing solar power, wind power and fuel cell system to K University without external grid source. The economical optimum capacity of each distributed power source is calculated and analyzed by using HOMER program. Simulation results can demonstrate the economic feasibility of implementing renewable energy sources to supply the power to K University. Particularly, two different cases focuses on comparison data of carbon dioxide emission quantity. When any renewable energy plants are installed, it is expecting to solve the problems like as carbon emission due to grid supply by fossil fuel energy. |
