Abstract
Applications for alternative energy sources range from very small scale to large scale grid-coupled hybrid energy systems. In addition, hybrid energy systems are safer to generate power and cheaper to produce than single-source energy systems. The main goal of this study is to determine whether renewable energy hybrid system with horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) or vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) is more efficient and cost effective in terms of energy, economics, and environmental performance. The use of the Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) in MATLAB software for the sizing of hybrid sustainable energy system with wind turbine (horizontal and vertical axis), solar photovoltaic, and grid connection is evaluated in this study. The results revealed that the cost of energy, NPC and system total cost for the case where HRES consists of HAWT is $0.02 /kWh, $85,905, and $332,240, respectively, while for the case when VAWT is used, these values are $0.06 /kWh, $129,932 and $502,511, respectively. The renewable fraction and CO2 emission saving are 80.5% and 73.2% for cases 1 and 2, respectively. The use of renewable energy sources will spread more widely and there will be less air pollution as a result of less reliance on grid electricity. The findings from both situations show that adopting HAWTS-based HRESs is more cost effective and efficient for electrifying rural areas. This study paves the way for researchers to focus on types of wind turbines while designing HRESs.
