摘要:This paper presents a cost analysis study of a hybrid diesel and Photovoltaic (PV) system in
Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. It first presents the climate conditions of the city followed by the
load profile of a 2MVA network; the system was evaluated as a standalone system. Diesel
generator rating was considered such that it follows ISO 8528. The maximum size of the PV
system was selected such that its penetration would not exceed 25%. Several sizes were
considered but the 400kWp system was found to be the most cost efficient. Cost estimation was
done using Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER). Based on the
simulation results, the climate conditions and the NEC 960, the numbers of the maximum and
minimum series modules were suggested as well as the maximum number of the parallel strings.
