Abstract This study examines the feasibility of a stand-alone photovoltaic, diesel generator and battery storage hybrid power system for the electrification of off-grid rural areas
When the HRES is integrated with the utility grid, the generated surplus power after charging the storage units can be injected into the grid, which leads to near-zero excess electricity [4] these systems, purchasing electricity from the grid can lead to peak-shaving, which causes less surplus electricity generation from the HRES.
A hybrid power system is defined as an off-grid electric power generator system comprising of more than one energy generation source and the end-use energy is basically electricity [37]. In furtherance, hybrid system for electric power generation is fundamentally a productive means of enhancing sustainable development in electric power industry.
