Abstract

In this research study, the techno-economic feasibility and optimal unit sizing are investigated under various hybrid sources for with and without grid Industrial microgrid to meet the industrial load requirement reliably, continuously and sustainably. The whole study also reduces the total system net present cost and least cost of energy (COE). A combination of PV-DG- without grid and PV-DG- with grid has been investigated for the Industrial micro grid. It has been found that the net present cost for PV-DG- without grid and PV-DG- with grid are Rs 1,97,42,78,784 and Rs 31,38,13,056 respectively. Cost of energy for PV-DG- without grid and PV-DG- with grid are Rs/kWh 21.58 and Rs 2.63. The results are indicated that the proposed PV-DG with grid hybrid configuration is the most economical in terms of operating cost, net present cost and gases emissions for Industrial Microgrid located at Ankleshwar Gujarat.
