DESIGN OF A HYBRID RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM FOR BAZE UNIVERSITY MALE HOSTEL
Abstract
To meet the expanding energy demand, all available energy sources must be utilized.
Renewable energies are both eternal and natural. In order to build modern electrical grids
that have advantages for the economy, environment, and society, the hybrid system is
preferable. A summary of various optimization methods (modelling techniques) of an HRES
is presented in this paper. This study offers an in-depth analysis of the best sizing, control
methodologies, and energy management strategies, along with the incorporation of various
renewable energy sources to form a hybrid system. This report presents a HOMER-based
simulation for an off-grid Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) designed for Baze
University Male Hostel, located in Abuja, Nigeria. The system combines solar PV, wind
turbines, a battery bank, and an inverter system to meet the daily load of approximately 350
kWh
