Load analysis of an off-grid hybrid power system using micro-hydro and diesel power technology in the remote areas of Bangladesh

Abstract

Hybrid power technology plays an important role in the field of energy systems. This technology can be used with or without a grid by merging renewable and non-renewable sources. This study analyses electricity generation through an off-grid hybrid technology, which is composed of micro-hydro power and diesel generator power in a remote area of Bangladesh. In this investigation, some of the crucial cases will be examined, which are the optimum turbine placement with the aid of fluid flow simulation using the flow parameters, electric power production in a single power unit and hybrid power system unit, and cost analysis of the hybrid power system unit in order to inspect the feasibility of the system.
