Analysis of Hybrid Solar/Wind/Diesel Renewable Energy System for off-grid Rural Electrification

Due to the raising energy demand and even the lack of coverage of the energy supply to the total population from the interconnected electric system, the implementation of electric generation system in which the renewables are involved play an important role in our society. The aim of this paper is to propose the design of a Hybrid Electric System (HES) to supply the energy demand of a parish placed in the Ecuadorian coast. The feasibility analysis, constitutive elements of the system, and adjust variables are computed and presented using the computational tool HOMER. This study is carried out considering the meteorological data obtained from the selected place and two different prices for the diesel, i.e., subsidized and non-subsidized by the state.
