APPENDIX 1 Standalone hybrid generation system for the remote area of Thar, Pakistan Standalone hybrid generation system for the remote area of Thar, Pakistan Standalone hybrid generation system for the remote area of Thar, Pakistan Standalone hybrid generation system for the remote area of Thar, Pakistan Standalone hybrid generation system for the remote area of Thar, Pakistan APPENDIX 2 Standalone hybrid generation system for the remote area of Thar, Pakistan Interim Report According to statistics made in recent years, it is found that almost 33% of the world’s populations do not have access to electricity [1, 2]. Most of the non-electrified regions are found in developing countries. These regions can be electrified either by extending the grids of the existing power systems or by constructing isolated new power systems, which are alternative energy sources. In general, it is preferred to go for the extension of the existing grids but they are not always affordable the fact that most of the non-electrified regions in developing countries are located in remote and difficult areas, like hilly regions, forests, deserts and islands, which demand huge investment for grid extension, therefore For remote places like THAR, Pakistan where electricity has not reached easily yet it is recommended that decentralized generation, which is based on renewable energy technologies, is perhaps the only efficient way to provide electricity. For the same reasons which make difficulty of extending the conventional grids, transporting fuel to the remote areas and replacement parts needed for the conventional sources like diesel generators, Renewable energy sources (RES) are suggested to constitute the base of the electrical sources. [4, 5] The energy for RESs is locally available and a properly chosen RESs can reduce the operating periods of the conventional power sources considerably which will result in reduction of the fuel consumption and minimizing the need of maintenance. This in turn will result in the improvement of sustainable power generation. A system, which depends entirely upon RESs, is possible but not reliable for the uninsured availability of the resources for the RES systems. In order to meet the sustained load demands during the varying natural conditions, different energy sources and power electronics converters need to be integrated with each other for extended usage of alternative energy. Thus, the best choice is to use electric power generation system, which consists more then one renewable energies as a generation source with energy storage bank and power conditioning system, known as a hybrid power system. Aims The main aims of this project are to investigate and discuss the benefits of using small-scale renewable energy generation system involving solar and wind energy for the remote area of THAR in Pakistan. The project will mainly focus on the integration and design of the system of the generation system; the system will also include a Gensat as a backup in case renewable resources are not available so Gensat can be used to avoid black out. To design a hybrid generation system for the remote area of the THAR, Pakistan where most of the population is living without the electricity and getting grid connection there is costly and require 2-3 years hence hybrid generation system is the best option as the energy will be produced from renewable resources and also will cost less money and time for the system to be working. The project will also investigate the best design layout (connection topology), power management strategies to design an efficient system, which will require less maintenance and will deliver the energy demand of the THAR community easily and effectively. tải về 6.62 Mb.
