ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF A HYBRID POWER SYSTEM FOR POWER AVAILABILITY
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This work focuses o n the design and implementation o f a solar/biomass hybrid power
system for a research institutions for the purpose o f power efficiency and the impact of
renewable energy in research institute. Consistent electricity supply has been a major
challenge for the purpose of carrying out practical in research institutions. This can be
salvaged by the introduction of hybrid renewable energy sources that includes the
combination of solar and biomass. The solar system harnesses energy from the sun and
converts it t o AC signal while the biomass uses waste product, putting them under a
harsh atmospheric pressure for the purpose of producing energy b y maximizing the
energy harnessed from the waste products. PROTEUS a s an aided software i s highly
effective in the actualization of all simulation parameters taking into consideration the
behaviour of the solar/biomass energy system with an inverting circuit. A DC-DC
booster converter aid i n the increase in the output voltage o f the hybrid power system.
After simulation using PROTEUS, the inverting circuit produced a square wave output
with a n output voltage of 12v. Having the biomass system going through a DC-DC
booster, both having the same output voltage. I n conclusion, the high cost o f fissile fuels
and its effects o n the environment has led to the actualization and putting together this.
