In this paper, a mountain house in Sakarya, Turkey,
which are mainly powered by renewable energy resources rather than the
conventional ones, are designed. Therefore, numerous hybrid renewable power
generating systems including the components like wind turbine, PV, diesel
generator and battery are considered in different configurations. Eventually,
they are technically and economically analyzed by using the well-known HOMER
software. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is also performed considering
variations in two important parameters, namely wind speed and solar
irradiation. According to the results, the hybrid power generation with the
optimal hybrid configuration system includes a 2 kW photo voltaic array, a 1 kW
wind turbine, a 1 kW diesel generator, a 1 kW power converter and 12 batteries.
In addition, this system has the net present cost of 29,304 $ as well as the
cost of energy as 0.752 $/kWh. Lastly, the optimum hybrid system is then
compared to the other hybrid systems regarding some non-eco-friendly
pollutants.
