Abstract

As an effective means of providing power to remote and off-grid areas of developing countries, where rural electrification problems are most common, hybrid renewable energy systems are considered. HOMER simulated and configured wind turbine, photovoltaic, battery bank, and converter for the electricity demand of the Mander rural community, which has 37 families with household sizes of 7 members, as a remote village in Northern Iraq in this article. The hypothesis project was also evaluated using the parameters Net Present Value and Simple Payback Period. Daily energy consumption of 173,120 kWh and peak electricity consumption of 32,14 kW were measured for the outcome of the selected site. The proposed system produced 68,458 kWh/yr (13.7 percent) by the wind turbine, PV created 432,354 kWh/yr. (86.3 percent), and 265 operating batteries with a total operating cost (TOC) and costs of energy (COE) of $9,195 and 0.365 $/kWh, respectively. This survey emphasized the role of solar photovoltaic and wind turbine as hybrid renewable energy systems HRESs in the sustainable supply of electricity in rural areas of northern Iraq.
