Technical and Economic Analysis of Solar PV/Diesel Generator Smart Hybrid Power Plant Using Different Battery Storage Technologies for SRM IST, Delhi-NCR Campus

This paper presents atechnical and economic analysis of the proposed solar PV/diesel generator smart hybrid power plant for a part SRM IST, Delhi-NCR campus. The was performed using five battery storage technologies: lead-acid, lithium-ion, vanadium flow, zinc bromide nickel-iron. also used HOMER Pro software. conducted to assess performance parameters such as initial cost, simple payback period, return on investment, energy produced, renewable penetration emission air pollutants. optimal solution obtained SPP(200 kW)/DG(82 kW)/ZB(2000 kWh), with cycle charging dispatch strategy. cost this configuration is estimated be USD163,445, operating USD534 per year. net present USD170,348, has been USD0.090 kWh. It that solution, diesel may consume only 110 L/year diesel, which minimum all configurations. Sensitivity between size PV array battery, along variations in battery’s nominal capacity fraction.
