Techno-economic analysis of a hybrid microgrid system in semi-desertic areas of Tunisia

The interest of power is expanding step by step all through the world. Providing electricity for semi-arid areas in emerging countries through the grid extension can be very expensive and usually needs a long term planning. A distributed power generation system (e.g. a micro-grid) which provides electricity from locally available renewable energy sources such as solar energy and biomass might be a better solution for these countries. The focus of this thesis is to simulate and optimize a photovoltaic and biomass gasifier generator set to provide electricity for Meknassy, a town and commune in the Sidi Bou Zid Governorate, in Tunisia. In this framework, the essential wellspring of power is sun based solar photovoltaic system and biomass gasifier generator set. HOMER simulator has been utilized to recreate the mini-grid and it checks the specialized and financial criteria of this hybrid energy system. The execution of every segment of this framework is dissected lastly delicate examination has been performing to enhance the mixture framework at various conditions.
