Techno-Economic and Environmental Analysis of Renewable Mix Hybrid Energy System for Sustainable Electrification of Al-Dhafrat Rural Area in Oman
Summary. This paper designs and models a hybrid renewable energy system combining solar, wind, and diesel generation for a rural area in Oman. Using HOMER optimization software, researchers found that a PV-wind-diesel microgrid reduces energy costs by 55%, diesel consumption by 70%, and greenhouse gas emissions by 70% compared to the current diesel-only system. The study demonstrates that Oman can achieve sustainable rural electrification through hybrid microgrids.
