Techno-economic analysis for the role of single end energy user in mitigating GHG emission

Abstract Background Households, as end energy users, consume grid electricity to meet their demands. However, grids across the globe for production are majorly based on fossil fuel technology and make highest contributions global warming climate change due greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. This generic study aims investigate minute role of a single-end consumer in GHG mitigation by switching rooftop PV system his demands trading surplus through its techno-economic analysis. Method For impact, NASA Meteorological Data used select an ideal single user equipped with 10-kW annual average daily solar radiation ambient temperature MATLAB/Simulink, 11 populous cities Pakistan. Helioscope software is tilt azimuthal angles maximize intercept. Afterward, RETScreen cost, financial Result conclusion A switched green source from fuel-based has potential avoid burning 3570.6 L gasoline producing 16,832 kWh per annum, while financially recovering system’s 7337$ grid-tied investment 5 years (equity) 9 9077$ stand-alone over 25-year life. approach provides relief users high priced environmental friendliness mitigating 8.3 tons CO2 equivalent emissions annum production, providing main stabilization peak shaving, broad sense.
