Abstract
This research focuses on the techno-economic analysis of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs) for power generation under different climatic zones i.e., composite, temperate, cold, warm and humid, and hot and dry. The system is modelled and simulated based on meteorological data of New Delhi, Bangalore, Srinagar, Kolkata and Jodhpur. It consists of a solar photovoltaic system (PV), a wind turbine, a fuel cell, a converter, an electrolyzer, and a hydrogen tank. Srinagar has the highest total net present cost (NPC) of 57,44,105.53 US$ whereas Bangalore has the lowest NPC i.e., 34,01,103.82 US$. Hydrogen production range is between 1955 to 1963 kg/yr for all climatic zones. Solar PV power is reasonably good for all climatic zones whereas wind power is not suitable for colder zones, but it is proven to be quite good for hot and dry climatic conditions. Therefore, installing a HRES according to the climatic conditions will provide a sustainable and dependable energy solution that solves climate issues, improves energy security, and encourages ecological responsibility.
