Optimal Operation Of Hybrid Power System Using PV And CHP With Resilience Benefits

With natural disasters occurring more frequently, energy systems need to become more resilient and cost-effective. Although many studies have examined the use of renewable energy systems to supply electricity to a variety of businesses, the resilience of these systems in university campus settings has gotten less attention. This knowledge gap is filled by modelling a PV/battery and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system created especially for the Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST) campus. The REopt software application was used to simulate a 24-hour power outage in order to evaluate the system's resilience. An efficient mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model was used to examine the system's performance during the outage. The primary objective of this strategy is cost-effectiveness. Additionally, it functions well under ongoing outages. A 179 kW PV solar array, an 18 kW CHP unit, a 61 kW battery system (with an 189 kWh capacity), and a 199 kW diesel generator make up the most energy-efficient setup found. Over the system's 25-year lifespan, it should save about $59,087. It helps lower carbon dioxide emissions in addition to operating faultlessly in the case of a 24-hour power outage. It lowers about 23,144 tonnes in resilience mode as opposed to 747 tonnes in financial mode. This study looks at how renewable energy systems can help fight climate change. They could make energy resilience better. Additionally, they enhance the quality of life in regions susceptible to natural disasters.
