This paper presents the techno-economic feasibility of using grid-connected PV hybrid systems to supply power in large grid-dependent academic institutions. The study was conducted administration building Moi University Kenya. consumption profile collected a PCE-360 analyzer. peak load demand found be 60 kW. Using random variability constants 4% for day-to-day and time-step variability, 70.58 kW obtained, which used our simulation. solar radiation temperature data this site were from weather...
The increasing demand for sustainable electricity generation necessitates the exploration of innovative technologies. Biomass technology is emerging as a promising alternative to address energy crisis low-power devices and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. One methods generate from this biomass by using microbial fuel cells (MFC). However, efforts made with are still mainly limited at laboratory scale, limiting its interest utilization electrical power generation. This paper presents...
The quest for universal energy access continues to be a major concern globally. Renewable technologies such as solar PV are viable options meet this poverty with DC-AC power converters playing role in systems. Current designs of these suffer from high standby consumption and input threshold voltage. This paper presents the design implementation single-phase converter low voltage optimized consumption. A multivibrator, pulse width modulation signal generator, MOSFETs, multiple secondary...
The low power factor in electrical installations results high losses and increased installation costs.This comes as a consequence of the current flowing through transmission lines due to reactive consumption.Most often, before renewable energy systems involving battery storage, load demand is not evaluated terms different factors.Because these diversified factors for loads, overall will witness decrease which puts user at disadvantage more charges be incurred.For reasons, this paper presents...
Energy storage, such as lead acid batteries, is necessary for renewable energy sources’ autonomy because of their intermittent nature, which makes them more frequently used than traditional sources to reduce operating costs. The battery storage system has be monitored and managed prevent serious problems overcharging, over-discharging, overheating, unbalancing, thermal runaway, fire dangers. For voltage balancing between batteries in the pack throughout charging period SOC estimate, a...
This paper proposes an intelligent droop-based control method for simultaneous enhanced regulation of voltage and frequency in a standalone microgrid. Droop is renowned its use active reactive power sharing, alongside autonomous microgrids. It preferred over other methods because it does not require communication systems implementation. Each distributed generator (DG) microgrid has particular droop characteristic usually interfaced with converter. Changes load demand give rise to mismatch...
With the declining cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and batteries used for energy storage, many users are now shifting towards because its renewable nature availability. Though this is a great step to combat climate change, most systems installed always fail due poor system sizing. For reason, optimal required be deployed. This paper presents technical economic feasibility design approach PV using Hybrid Optimization Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) Pro software. The based on...
