Feasibility analysis and techno-economic design of grid-isolated hybrid renewable energy system for electrification of agriculture and irrigation area: A case study in Dongola, Sudan

Grid-independent hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs), being eco-friendly and cost effective, are turning out to be more effective option for the rural areas where grid power availability is poor. This paper presents the techno-economic analysis and optimum design of a HRES, as proposed to meet out the residential and agricultural electric load requirements of an energy poor community of Yamunanagar district in the State of Haryana, India. Three different optimal configurations, viz. wind/battery, PV/battery and wind/PV/battery are compared in respect of net present cost (NPC) and cost of energy (COE) to determine most economically viable option. For economic analysis and optimum sizing, all the necessary modelling and simulation is carried out using HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable) software. From the simulation results, it is established that wind/PV/battery based HRES is the most cost-effective configuration for the specific location this investigation is about and also the optimum sizes of the different components are obtained. Further, for technical analysis, a MATLAB/Simulink model of the optimized system is built and its effectiveness is demonstrated in terms of maintaining active power balance between the different components of HRES as well as keeping DC link voltage (VDC) and output AC voltage constant, irrespective of variations in solar irradiance, wind speed and connected load. The novelty of this work lies in using both HOMER and MATLAB simulation tools sequentially to carry out techno-economic analysis of the proposed HRES and validate the proposition.

The depletion of fossil resources, energy dependency, increase in fuel costs and environmental concerns caused by fossil fuel vehicles, along with the advances in battery technology and their manufacturing processes have promoted a transition towards electric vehicles (EV). Depending on inner and external factors, some countries fastly adopted the new technology, whereas others act more slowly. In this study, an overview of Turkey's position in EV technology is presented. The current EV, charging infrastructure, and battery market, as well as EV-related regulations, research and development (R&D) activities, and industry in the country are evaluated. An EV charging station (EVCS) density map of Turkey is formed to illustrate the deficiencies in the existing charging infrastructure. The challenges and opportunities in the country are discussed and presented in the form of a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis and the study is concluded with a list of recommendations. Currently, the public in Turkey is focused on the state-supported “local brand EV” project. However, the acceptance of EVs is still low in the country. To that end, social awareness-raising activities, especially electric public transportation and electric public fleets, should be promoted for EVs to achieve their higher visibility. The EVCS infrastructure should be further expanded in the eastern part of Turkey and further steps should be taken regarding EV/EVCS-related incentives.
