5 - 5 - Detailed Synopsis of PhD: APPENDIX ABSTARCT The main drivers of the increased popularity in renewable energy electricity generation by wind, solar, biomass, small hydro and hybrid are due to emergence of cleaner and sustainable energy technologies brought along with financial incentives, promotion mechanisms, economic and regulatory changes introduced in various countries. The reasons of interests in small scale electricity generation are: (i) development in distributed electricity generation technologies, (ii) difficulties in laying new transmission lines, (iii) demand of reliable electricity supply, (iv) climate change, and (v) liberalization of electric power market. Other reasons of growth of distributed renewable energy system are due to: (i) flexibility in deployment due to their small size, (ii) shorter lead time for installation and commissioning, operation and capacity expansion, (iii) cost effective source of electricity for peak load, (iv) minimal cost of transmission and distribution which could be as high as 40%, (v) insurance against volatile prices of electricity, (vi) transmission and distribution losses may be avoided, (vii) effective use of locally available cheap primary renewable energy sources such as biomass, biogas, landfill gas, etc. To achieve the objectives of the thesis, the performance analysis of independent wind energy system (WES), photovoltaic (PV) and biomass energy systems is evaluated in various situations. The performance

6 - 6 - analysis is carried out also for integrated systems consisting of WES and PV energy system; PV and biomass energy systems; WES, PV and biomass energy systems; and hybrid system consisting of WES, PV system and diesel engine- generator (DG) set; and PV, biomass system and DG set. Sensitivity analysis and optimization technique are applied in each case to study the optimal renewable energy system. The following are detail of the objectives of this thesis: Calculation of energy exported to grid from renewable energy sources Income from energy export Gross and net greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction GHG reduction income Total annual cost Total annual saving and income Financial viability including simple and equity payback Cumulative cash flow Sensitivity analysis with sensitivity variables Total net present cost Cost of energy of various configurations Optimization of various configurations The objective of the thesis is achieved by using two simulation software tools namely Renewable Energy Technology Screen (RETScreen) Version 4 and Hybrid Optimisation Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER).
