Techno-Economic Assessment of Grid Connected Solar PV/Wind hybrid System

Abstract Wind and Solar PV energy as alternative supplies to the traditional fossil fuel have been a subject of study for researchers at various fora including climate change summits. However, technical economic feasibility wind solar projects involve lot complexity depends mostly on geographical location availability resources. To address constraints factors affecting systems, this paper aims undertake techno-economic assessment grid connected PV/Wind hybrid system capable meeting typical commercial load, located in Kumasi, Ghana. achieve purpose an audit has undertaken establish load demand facility. Again, RETSCREEN software was used design simulate proposed order analyse technical, environmental implications system. Findings show that, there is high potential providing scale consumption most months year, extra available be sold grid, generating considerable income. Though levelized cost (LCOE) compared existing tariff, adds significantly national objective reduce its dependency fuels while local requirement.
