The selected site has an adequate solar insolation, wind velocity and biomass fuel availability. The technical feasibility of photo voltaic (PV) integrated with wind and biomass systems for the required demand has been evaluated. For all the load demands, the life cycle cost (LCC) and life-cycle unit cost (LUC) for solar-biomass; wind-biomass and PV-wind-biomass hybrid system are always lower than that of stand alone system. The PV-wind-biomass hybrid system is techno-economically feasible option for rural electrification. The effects of variation for insolation, wind velocity and biomass fuel on energy generation of the hybrid system have also been investigated.
