摘要：This paper focuses on the techno-economic feasibility and sustainability of a PV/wind/diesel hybrid system designed for decentralized power supply. Several designs have been studied for the hybrid system by varying the PV slope and wind turbine hub height under different dispatch strategies to supply the load. For each design, the power system has been optimized to determine the maximum electrical output at a low cost. Sensitivity analyses have been performed to evaluate operational risk in the actual operation as well as the cost-effectiveness of the proposed system. As a final remark, the sustainability of the proposed hybrid energy system has been analyzed based on some key indicators to understand the implications of a design choice on electrical production, CO₂ emission and cost of energy. Our results show that for a projected period of 25 years, the selected hybrid power system for electrification of a housing estate will cost 10.2 million USD for a daily load of 4876.5 kWh, and the cost for every kWh of electricity generated is $0.4574. Results also show that the hybridization of the standard diesel generating system increased the reliability and cost-effectiveness of the power system, saving $0.316 for every kWh of electricity generated, with about 1,521,310 kg of CO₂ emission avoided annually.
