Renewable Energy Use in Rural Areas: Design of a Hybrid Photovoltaic System in the Case of Muş Province

Abstract

This study presents the design and performance analysis of a photovoltaic-based hybrid energy system for a rural vineyard house in the Yörecik region of Muş Province, located in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. Simulations conducted considering the geographical location of the region (38.7914° latitude, 41.2412° longitude, 1533 m altitude) determined that the average annual sunshine duration is 4.5 hours/day and the average radiation value is 7.0 kWh/m²-day. The system consists of a photovoltaic (PV) array with an installed capacity of 1600 Wp, a lithium-ion battery bank with a capacity of 48 V 800 Ah, an MPPT type charge controller, and a 1.5 kW backup generator. Simulations performed using the PVSyst programme yielded an annual usable energy of 2898.98 kWh, with a performance ratio of 77.08% and a solar fraction of 83.83%. While the entire energy requirement was met by solar power during the summer months, generator support was required at a rate of 15.14% during the winter months. Loss analyses showed that the highest losses were due to temperature effects and battery charging-discharging processes. Consequently, it was demonstrated that the hybrid system designed for the Yörecik region of Muş province, thanks to its high solar energy potential, offers a feasible and efficient solution for sustainable energy supply in rural areas.
