Abstract

This paper proposes design for an off grid solar-wind-diesel hybrid power system for a remote locality. At first availability of solar and wind resources for different locations in Bangladesh has been studied. According to the solar irradiance and wind speed data Swandip has been chosen as project site. To save energy, we have designed the load for this locality. Using HOMER, different combinations have been tested to find the optimized solution considering both cost and electricity production.
