a grid connected hybrid solar and diesel generator. An electrical audit was first conducted on a selected building: the Electrical Block o f Accra Technical University. The load air-condition systems. The estimate was used to d esign the hybrid system with HOMER 0.472 $/kW h taking into consideration no power ou tage in the year. Furthermore, the
The load estimate led to a total energy of 234 kWh for all electrical gadgets with the exception of the air-condition systems. The estimate was used to design the hybrid system with HOMER software that resulted in a total capacity of 115 kW and a levelized cost of electricity of 0.472 $/kWh taking into consideration no power outage in the year.
Most commercial entities depend on the availability, and reliability of electricity supply for their business ventures. Poor energy security, unreliability, and high cost of electricity characterize the utility grid of Ghana, forcing most of these facilities to resort to using diesel generators to supplement their energy needs.
Furthermore, the proposed hybrid system was made of a grid connected solar system that supplies the full load with the exception of the air-condition systems while the National Grid is used to cover the rest. In situation of power outages, the Generator Set takes over the National grid while the solar is still connected to the Grid.
The study finally concurred that renewable energy sources such as solar when hybridized with any other energy systems, lead to a noticeable electrical cost reduction. Therefore, this system design provides multiple benefits, including; improved reliability, reduced emission and significant cost reduction.
Hybrid PV-Diesel generators are becoming a widespread solution for continuous electricity [9, 10].
