FACULTY OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DR S&SS GHANDHY GEC SURAT, India
ABSTRACT
In India as present as country is still dependent on thermal based power generation and in most of the areas of country as generation is not matching demand it is very much necessary to conserve energy and utilized renewable and nonrenewable energy sources in as effective manner. Micro grid component system sizing and design can be efficiently and effectively done using Micro grid system such as HOMER. Today’s electricity grid is transitioning to a so-called smart grid. The associated challenges and funding initiatives have great efforts from the research community to propose innovative smart grid solutions. To assess the performance of possible solutions homer offers a cost effective and safe approach. This paper covers details of micro grid component sizing using homer software.
