Techno-Economic analysis of hybrid renewable energy systems for rural area energization in Pakistan
Summary. This paper designs and compares four hybrid renewable energy systems for rural electrification in Pakistan using solar, wind, and biomass resources. The researchers used HOMER Pro optimization software to evaluate each system based on net present cost, levelized cost of energy, and payback period. A hybrid system combining all three renewable sources proved most feasible, delivering the lowest energy cost at Rs 14.40 per unit with a 2.54-year payback period, while a solar-biomass system alone was least cost-effective.
