Abstract

This paper carries the study of an unelectrified remote village physically located at latitude: 25° 6′ N and longitude: 77° 21′ E with an altitude of 275 m above sea level identified as Mahoori of Rajasthan, India, having a population of 217 persons in 41 households with bad footprint on the socio-economic conditions. The hybrid renewable energy source (HRES) paradigm is proposed which includes a combination of solar photovoltaic (SPV), wind generator (WG), diesel generator (DG) and battery with real-time optimal cost based on emission of solar, variations of wind and load profile to meet average-scaled residential load of 97.5 kWh/day. The overall power generation by the scheme is 68,809 kWh/yr having cost of electricity as $0.144/kWh. The techno-monetary features along with improvised varied system structures at 0, 5 and 10% maximum capacity deficiency is calculated. Further research ideas appeared also acknowledged at last.
