Optimization of a Micro-grid with Solar PV, Wind Energy and Battery Storage Hybrid System for an agro-based off-grid rural landscape
Summary. This paper optimizes a hybrid renewable energy system combining solar PV, wind turbines, and battery storage for off-grid rural agricultural communities. Using HOMER Pro software, the authors determine the most cost-effective sizing of components to reliably power both residential loads and irrigation systems in remote areas, addressing the gap between variable renewable supply and agricultural demand.
