Abstract: The paper present a scheme for renewable and alternative sources of electricity remote and tribal village
pachori. The proposed work has done with simulation on HOMER software for off grid approache. The ultimate
motto of this presented paper is to analysis the result of the approache for feasibility.

Keywords: HOMER, PV, Biomass,Bus bar, COE .

I. INTRODUCTION III. OFF GRID MODEL

Earlier the energy need of any human society was very The off grid or standalone model for the above concept is
limited due to limited expansion of such conversion work designed with all three sources of electricity biomass, PV
is quit simple and limited &its consumption was a linear and hydal system. The hydal system has choosen becose
process but in todays era electrical power system is one of Solar PV is selected as most of month availability of
of the complex networks in the world with invention of solar radiations while due to forest and agricultural area;
new techniques of power generation and utilization. agricultural wastes are available in bulk which has no use
The HOMER software is a very fast tool for designing and of other purpose even in some cases villagers destroy

task of designing distributed generation systems - both on awayfrom main citythere is more power cut problem only
and off-grid. HOMER's optimization and sensitivity 5 to 7 hours supply in a day and all time villagers suffer
analysis. electricity problem. The Solar-Biomass-hydal system is
the best option for fulfill the villagers electricity need as
II. PROPOSED SYSTEM the village is nearby fe small mountains and fall which has
enough water available to delevop a micro hydal system.
The proposed hybrid alternative energy system comprises
of biomass generator, PV, and micro hydal. Solid State
Converter is also used for conversion of its output to AC.
This system is design for off grid system. Pachori is a
small tribal village located in Burhanpu district, Madhya
Pradesh with total 1300 families residing as per Population
Census 2011. Among which approximately 1000 tribal
families resides for way from main village. The survey
conducted in village for for utilization of the electrical
equipments available like TV, Fan, and Light, etc. but in
the absence of power they could not used the device. The
total load peak load with daily electricity consumption is
shown in table 1:

IV. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

The HOMER software automatic consider the different

size of components for feasible model according to pre
defined size by user and gives the number of simulated
results in simulated results the best optimized result is
shown as in fig 2

low only fuel and operating cost invest and after 5 year
replacement cost in spend. Figure 4 shows the cash flow of
off grid model
In solar-biomass hybrid system the number of PV array is
used 400 kW, 300 KW biomass generators to fulfill the
electric load requirement 4.816MWh/d. The total
production of power is 2603244 kWh/yr, in which power
1854014 kWh/yr (71%) is by Biomass generator, 745953
kWh/yr (29%) by Solar PV. The bar graph show the
electricity production by solar and biomass as upper
yellow color bar show the solar panels output power and
lower color show the biomass generator output. Figure 5
shows the electricity production by off grid model
Figure 2 Optimized Result for off grid model

The total capital cost of all the components is $219520,

replacement cost after components life completed $
93505, during running time, Fuel Cost $ 203268, and
salvage cost $ -4731 salvage cost mean after completed
system life usable components cost. The NPC $ 485217
and COE have shown in table at different cost of biomass
and different carbon percentage. Figure 3 shows all these
details

used. The cash flow chart of solar-biomass hybrid system
