Abstract

This paper investigates the techno-economic feasibility of producing electrical energy for three villages in the mountains in the Demnate region. The community needs were determined based on the site visit to identify the electrical load demand in reality. In addition, a site description was done to evaluate the suitable system to produce the electrical energy. Using the Homer software, two systems were selected to produce electricity and hydrogen which are described as follows: The first system is constituted of a PV-Generator with 3759 kW, an Autosize Genset generating 300 kW, a DC/ AC converter supplying 317 kw, 800 kW produced by the electrolyzer, and a hydrogen storage tank with 900 Kg as a capacity. The second system is composed of PV modules with 3743 kw, seven G3 wind turbines with 3kW, an Autosize Genset generating 300 kw, 323 kW of power converters, a generic electrolyzer with an output power of 800 kW, and a hydrogen tank with 900 Kg as capacity. In addition, the financial analysis gives 1.56$/kWh and 1.57$/kWh as the Levelized Cost of Energy and 15.6 M$ and 15.7 M$ as the Net Present Cost for the first and second systems respectively.
