Feasibility Analysis and Simulation of Integrated Renewable Energy System for Power Generation: A Hypothetical Study of Rural Health Clinic

Vincent Anayochukwu Ani, Bahijjahtu Abubakar · 2015 · Journal of Energy

Summary. This paper analyzes the feasibility of a hybrid solar and wind renewable energy system for a rural health clinic in Nigeria. Using meteorological data and energy consumption records, researchers designed and simulated an optimal system combining 5 kW solar panels and a 7.5 kW wind turbine with battery storage. The system generates 16,628 kWh annually, meeting the clinic's full energy needs at a total cost of $137,139. The results demonstrate that stand-alone renewable systems can reliably power rural healthcare facilities.
