Techno-economic optimization and sensitivity analysis of off-grid hybrid renewable energy systems: A case study for sustainable energy solutions in rural India
Summary. This study designs and evaluates a hybrid renewable energy system for off-grid rural electrification in India, combining solar, wind, and biomass with hydrogen storage and batteries. Using HOMER Pro software, researchers optimized a system achieving 100% renewable energy fraction with a net present cost of $26.8 million and levelized cost of $4.32/kWh. Sensitivity analysis shows the system remains viable across varying economic conditions, providing reliable power to meet 94% of daily demand for rural communities.
