OPTIMAL WIND/PV/BIOMASS HYBRID POWER SYSTEM FOR FOREST WATCHTOWERS

Abstract

This study presents the design specifications of an optimal wind/PV/biomass hybrid power system to meet the energy demand of a forest watchtower in the Longoz Forests, located in the Yıldız Mountains region of forest-rich city of Kırklareli. Forest waste is used as a source of biomass. Hourly wind and solar data on Kırklareli for the years 2012-2014 is taken from General Directorate of Renewable Energy. Having thus collected the wind, solar, and biomass data, the HOMER software is used to model the hybrid power generation system. Taking into account the cost of the energy and total net present cost, the results of the study are then used to determine the optimal wind turbines, solar panels, biomass generators, converters, and the number of batteries. The optimal hybrid power generation system needed to meet the energy demand is then configured, and a precision analysis is done using wind speed and biomass price ($/t).
