This study analyses the prospect of utilising a solar PV/biogas/battery hybrid energy system to provide electricity for Ghana’s remote communities. The study goal is to utilise locally available renewable energy resources to achieve a cost-effective levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
This study assesses the techno-economic viability of utilising a solar PV and biogas hybrid energy system to provide reliable and cost-effective electricity for Ghana’s remote communities. The study findings are relevant to decision-makers and policymakers towards increasing electricity access rates in remote communities in Ghana. 1. Introduction
PV modules and biogas gensets contribute 51% and 49%, respectively, of the annual electricity generated. The LCOE from the PV/biogas system is about 0.265 USD/kWh, which is relatively higher than the LCOE for Ghana’s household residents. Even with a 100% capital subsidy, the hybrid system’s LCOE is still high compared to the grid tariff.
The sporadic behaviour of certain energy sources has resulted in the evolution of hybrid systems. A hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) comprises more than one power generation technology, either renewable or conventional fuel units, that work in a standalone or grid-connected mode (Adaramola et al., 2014; Sinha & Chandel, 2014).
Presently, in Ghana, the scraps are recycled to manufacture iron and steel mills used for armour plates, axles, bars, rebar, etc. O&M costs are required for regular maintenance of the hybrid system components during operation.
Odoi-Yorke et al. (2021) analysed a PV/fuel cell hybrid energy system for telecom applications in Ghana. The results indicate that the hybrid system LCOE is lower than the average grid tariff charged to grid-connected telecom base stations.
