Feasibility Energy Report For An Island
Electricity is one of the most wanted facility for ou life. All other sources of energy going
to deplete day by day,ther fore we have to move from conventional to renewable energy
resources. In this report the blend of two energy or hybrid resources has been takes place
(wind system and solar energy). This process despises the renewable energy resources
without harming the nature. We give stable power with the help of hybrid energy system.
Basically the hybrid system contains the combination of the two energy system which will
give us a uninterrupted power. The PV panels are used for convesion of solar energy into
electricity and the wind turbines are use for the conversion of wind energy into
electricity.The generated electricity can be use for the numerous purpose and facilities of
hu,an being .Also the Generated electricity will be at affordable or minimal cost from other
conventional energy resources. This paper deals with the generation of electricity for an
isolated island from the mankind who is looking to switch 100% to renewable energy
systemensuring a stable grid providing electricity through out the year by utilizing two sources
of energy combinley which will generate the electricity with minimum affordable cost
without negative impact on the nature.

1. INTRODUCTION
One of the primary needs for socio economic growth in any nation in the world is the
delivery of consistent electricity supply systems
The following are three different types of renewable energy which has shortly fiscussed in this
paper.
1.1 Wind Energy:
wind turbines, like aircraft propeller blades, turn in the moving air and power an electric
generator that conveys the electric current. Solely stated, that a wind turbine is the opposed of
a fan. As an alternative of using electricity to make wind, wind turbines like a fan, use wind to
make energy in the form of electricity. The wind moves the blades, whichthe turn a shaft, which
is connected to an alternaor generator and generates electricity
2) Vertical axis

Assume that annual energy requirement of an industry is 20000 kWh ,we calculate that what
will be
the size of wind turbine that is required to be installed to meet the energy requirement.
design our system for 1600Kwh ,1200 kwh will provide by the wind energy system while the
400 Kwh will be provided through solar energy system the Daily Maximum energy demand is –
1439 kWh
Considering losses
So a 20 Kw rated power wind turbine will deliver desired daily energy under mentioned
situation. Generally per kilowatt cost of a wind turbine varies from $300.00 to $.500.00. For
the above calculation a 50 kW wind turbine would cost about 50 × 300.00 $15000.00
2.4.3 Assumption made:
[The above power rating is based on the assumption that wind speed of 5 metre/sec will be
available throughout the year, 8760 hours, which is not the case, therefore we have taken the
capacity factor into account.
The Following are the main Four Steps Involved for Designing Of a solarSystem:
Assumption Made:
Inverter which will converts DC power into AC power having efficiency almost 90%.
voltage used in the operation = 12 volts
both The efficiency ofan inverter and also the battery can be calculated as the
combined efficiency = efficiency of inverter × efficiency of battery = 0.9 × 0.9 = 0.81 =
81%
availability of Sunlight during normal day = 8 hours/day (during peak radiation)
the rating of PV panel power = 40 Wp (Wp, meaning, watt (peak), gives only peak
power output of a PV panel)
A factor also called “operating factor‟ which is used for the estimatationof the actual
output gained from the PV module.
[The operating factor ranges from 0.62 to 0.90 (the output power is 60 to 80% lower than rated
output power) during the normal operating conditions, depending on the temperature, dust on
module, etc.
2.5.1 Total system watt hours rating :
2.5.2 The PV panel Actual power output = the Peak power rating of the panel × the
operating factor
= 40 × 0.75 = 30 watt
The power which normally utilize by the end use is usually less (because of the system lower
combined efficiency )
= 24.3 watts
2.5.3 Total Number of the solar panels which required to meet the daily
estimated load :
Battery Capacity (Ah) = Watt hours consumed per day x autonomy days
( 0.6 x0.85 x battery nominal voltage)
The above are the battery bank capacity required to provide an electricity for 24 hours with
40% of over generation storage because our generation capacity is 1600kwh.
3 Grid Stability Ananlysis.
We have choose an Hybrid Energy system (Wind+solar) Because of the following main Reasons
Power Syste
We have a flow rate of 0.01 to 0.04 m3/s from june to October which are insufficient of
producing Requirements During These Months.
A lot of intial cost will consumed to store energy for these months.
As we see from the Table that the wind energy speed of the island is 5.02 m/s which is
an ideal speed for the wind energy system.
The out put of the Selected wind turbine system at 5.02 m/s is 3.2 KW which is more
efficient compared to Hydro and solar system
There is a low maintenance cost /kw as compared to hydro and solar energy system
Overall long life span compared to hydro power system.
We have choose solar system as a secondar option for the following reasons
500 w/m2 irridation is available which is efficient for producing energy for a hybrid
system
To accommodate fluctuations during slow wind speed
Same inverters ,vharge controller and batteries will be used for storing daily energy so
the intial cost also the maintenance cost will be reduced
3.2 Control Mechanism for stable Grid:
As we designed our system for daily energy requirement computed daily energy for throughout
the years ,also for monthly basis, daily basis and hourly basis.
The maximum daily requirement of the island was 1439Kwh through out the year so keeping in
mind the maximum daily load we designed our system.
3.2.2 Sources For Energy system , Energy Available and its management:
As We choose an hybrid system(Solar+Wind), Wind will produce or generate 1200 Kwh while
Solar will produce 400Kwh, keeping in mind all the safety factor.
The total energy will be stored for the whole day requirement, as the system have the
capability to handle fluctuations of 30% above the maximum daily Requirements.
If wind speed decrease to 50% from 5.0m/s for 6 to 8 hours the system still have the
capability to handles the energy fluctuation, solar system will provide the required
energy to the grid.
During Day time the energy requirement is less so solar will store maximum generated
energy to the Battery Bank in order to counter night lightening load of the island.
During april to September there is less energy requirements so we will turn off the solar
system during these months .
The system will be plc operated during high demand it will turn on solar panel one by
one to fulfill energy requirements
If there is low energy requiremrent the PLC operated control system will turn off the PV
panel one by one.
There will be also a feedback system If The battery bank charged full 100% control
system will cut off the supply from the wind turbine .
The feedback system restore supply from the turbine to the grid once the storage of
energy decreases to 75%.
The battery bank can store energy to 2000 kWH, 400 kwh will be used during
emergengy or for back up if some problem occurs in wind turbine or solar system or the
demand for energy goes too high.
From the above control mechanism and energy store system it is very clear that our grid system
is stable and also flexible for the fluctuated hourly daily and monthly energy demands,The
system will provide a stable energy to the island without any breakdown or short fall,also the
intial cost of the system designing is liitle high for the sake of linear and stable grid as there is
no backup system for the island so we have provides the backup system of our owns.
4 Cost Analysis:
4.1.1. Site assessment : for single wind turbine and solar project, soil analysis finding is
essential to implement that whether it is the accurate site for the hybrid system installation or
not, next to the investigation there is site specific design foundation thats cost $15,00
4.1.2. Land lease: wind turbine and solar system must be installed the region where more
windiest area to maximize generated revenues from the power been generated. In overall
this should be the lease for land so that project name sited as well as to get different
parts of a wind turbine during the disassembling practice easements on the neighboring lands.
Which will prevent built closely other project , also lower the production numbers.
Generally, leases for 50kW turbines will vary from $3,000 to $3500 per year per turbine also
depending how big the turbine is, which will help to calculate size of the land for construction
process.
4.1.3. Permits: every kind of project need to accomplish archeological ,environmental and
further studies afore permits for the station construction to be issued. Legal costs which
permitting expensive can get for the projects the areas where there is possiblityof court case
may be occur from revelries which is affected by the other project. Frequently building permit
fee is established on the cost of total project and this amount can vary from $5,000t to $6000
per turbine.
4.1.5. Turbine and tower expenses: the tower and turbine are the largest expense in the
project development. Nowadays, commercial turbines range in price from $5500 for 50KW.
This cost varies depending on project size, turbine model and manufacturer, transportation cost
of the turbine and the tower to the site, and other factors
4.1. 6. Installation costs: it envolves the following basis three types of copst before
starting a energy or hybrid system
Foundations: depending on the weight of the generator assembly and rotor and the
height of the tower the price will vary. “A turbine foundation is very large: 8-9
truckloads of concrete, with costs ranging from $500,0 to $7000 including soil
boring and engineering design.”
Wiring to turbine base: this grips or hold installation of the o pad mount
transformer located at a turbine base if essential, installion of the electric poles for
carrying power to appliances line, underground installion of wires on the land that
cost range vary from $2,000 to $2500 or even more than that.
Turbine erection: rental of a crane ia the major cost in the Turbine erection step is
related. The broad price estimate from a qualified installation company will likely be in
the range of $400, 0 to $50,00 For 50KW
4.1.7. Commissioning Costs: usually included in the price of the turbine manufacturer
charges once the order is made. “Commissioning is the process of connecting the turbine to the
transmission lines and making sure it is working correctly. The main components of
commissioning are final wiring, setting parameters, checking operational safety, and
verifying the successful generation of power as shown in the manufacturer’s instructions which
will cost $2500
4.1.8 Operating costs: can be divided into 4 components, Operation and maintenance,
Warranty, Insurance, administrative and legal costs.
Operation and maintenance (O&M): “Owners can choose to do most of the O&M
themselves, as long as they are trained by the company technicians who perform
the turbine commissioning. Third party and turbine manufacturers also offer
turbine O&M services. These services typically range from $20,00 to $5000 per
year for each turbine. »
Warranty: “A machine warranty will typically run between $20,000 to $40,000 per
year per turbine depending upon the turbine manufacturer, size of the project, and
turbine model. A typical warranty lasts for two years with an option to extend the
warranty up to five years
Insurance: “Insurance costs range from $8,000-$15,000 per year for each turbine. This
cost will increase after the warranty on the machine is over and the likelihood of
equipment failure increases in the later years of the project.”

Conclusion:
The Hybrid Electric energy system is one of the best and active solution for the purpose of
power generation other than using Diesel,coal,biogas,Natural gas and other conventional
power generation resources and process. The renewable and specially the hybrid energy
system has greater efficiency. The main advantages of the hybrid energy system is that it can
provide Electricity or power to those remote areas where it is difficult for the government
government to provide a stable energy system. So that the energy can be consumed where it
produced and it will minimize or reduce the total losses in transmission and also the cost
of the generated Electricity. Also the Cost can be minimized to low level by increasing the
productivity of the overall equipment installed in the Power generation system.It is
necessary to motivate the people to utilize most of the non-conventional Power or energy
resources. Because It is very safe also it is environment friendly because it doesn’t generate
any type of emission and harmful waste product or flue gases like the other conventional
energy resources, also It is most economical and an effective solution for the electricity
generation system .Conventional energy system only need an initial investment having a long
life span and life cycle low maintenance cost .So we can say it is very economical
effiecient,cost effective and an affordable system for the power generation purposes.
