dc.description.abstractThe presented work endeavors to mitigate the reliance on existing diesel generators by integrating hybrid renewable energy systems to fulfill the energy demands of a small community residing in Meziadin Lake, Canada. Utilizing HOMER Pro 3.16.2 software, the research employs a range of analyses, encompassing Net Present Value (NPV), Cost of Energy (COE), emissions, energy production, and operational costs. The simulation outcomes indicate that the combination of solar energy, batteries and the existing diesel generator represents the optimal solution, demonstrating superior performance with NPC and COE of $3.26M and $0.1815/kWh, respectively. Our model has a renewable fraction of 82% and results in 47.5% reduction of NPC and COE, as well as 89.1% decrease in annual carbon dioxide emission compared to the baseline system.
