- Abstract
Although hybrid wind-biomass-battery-solar energy systems have enormous potential to power future cities sustainably, there are still difficulties involved in their optimal planning and designing that prevent their widespread adoption. This article aims to develop an optimal sizing of microgrids by incorporating renewable energy (RE) technologies for improving cost efficiency and sustainability in urban areas. Diverse RE technologies such as photovoltaic (PV) systems, biomass, batteries, wind turbines, and converters are considered for system configuration to obtain this goal. Net present cost (NPC) is this study's objective function for optimal sizing microgrid configuration. For demonstration, we assess the technical, economic factors, and atmospheric emissions of optimal hybrid renewable energy systems for Putrajaya City in Malaysia. The required solar radiation data, temperature, and wind speeds are collected from the NASA surface metrological database. From the quantitative analysis of simulations, the biomass-battery-based system has optimal economic outcomes compared to other systems with an NPC of around 1.07 M$, while the cost of energy (COE) is 0.118 $/kWh. Moreover, environmentally safe nitrogen oxide emissions, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide concentrations exist. The grid-tied RE technology boasts cost-effectiveness, with an NPC of 348,318 $ and a COE of 0.0112 $/kWh. This study aids decision-makers in formulating policies for integrating hybrid RE systems in urban areas, promoting sustainable energy generation.
