Utilization of renewable energy resources as
on-grid or off-grid systems are in a continuous increase. It is mainly because
of significant fluctuations on oil prices and rising environmental concerns.
Moreover, wind and solar energy resources are utilized in electric energy
generation for compensation of fast growing demand. In this study, a
comparative analysis of 1 MW hybrid renewable power plant for a private
industrial company in Gemlik, Bursa is presented. The analysis is performed for
best cost-effective power plants. The design methodology is performed on
grid-connected system. Besides, solar radiation, wind speed, load demand
profile, electricity tariff and cost of hybrid power plant equipment’s
are taken into consideration as input parameters. The alternatives and
parameters are evaluated in the process of hybrid power plant design to obtain
levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). The results are obtained by using HOMER
software program and all alternatives are compared with each other. As a
result, there exist not only an optimum economic case but also the most
environment friendly case were evaluated.
