Abstract

This paper deals with the investigation on renewable energy potential areas in the union of Puducherry for the development of the standalone Hybrid (PV/Wind) electrification system. Optimization cum sensitivity results and ranking process are the basic evaluation parameters for this investigation. The various climatic zones identified (Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam) are located in the union territory of Puducherry region, India. A typical consumer demand profile was created for the selected zones on the basis of the database relating to the local distribution agency. The renewable resource availability ranges were obtained from NASA’s surface mythology database. HOMER Pro software has been used for estimation of the different feasible hybrid configurations. Region-wise winning configurations were treated into sensitivity analysis through different rates of diesel price variables. The investigations indicate Yanam Zone as a highly potential area for implementing the standalone hybrid electrification system among the other climatic zones of Puducherry union. The sensitivity analysis proves renewable energy rich area system holding the top rank, in terms of the best Techno-Economic Eco friendly electrification system. The system maintains the renewable fraction as 0.99 with a high quantity of power production and least Cost of Energy with reduced Net Present Cost (reduced into half value over normal system) and low green gas emission.
