The expansion of the industrial sector and continuous increase in population are reasons for ever-increasing demand electricity, which directly burdens central grid. Absence remoteness from grid make off-grid power generation most reliable source electricity to meet needs peripheral areas. Electrification remote areas through decentralized using renewable energy sources has emerged as a low-cost practically viable solution. Domestic-level trading makes system more cost-effective. This study develops hybrid model consisting PV diesel generators electrify village, considering feasibility analysis consumer-prosumer-based potential. First, resource evaluation total load estimated at selected site, then sizing optimization techno-economic evaluated HOMER Pro software. Based on optimized system, new is proposed developed software investigate Economic rationality checked economic parameters net present cost, levelized cost initial capital, operation maintenance system.

Looking island wide to overcome Sri Lankaʼs energy crisis while gaining independence from fossil fuel imports

Renewable Energy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 218, P. 119261 - 119261

Imported fuels used up to 50% of Sri Lanka's export income and contributed the recent crippling energy crisis. This study explores possibility using island's indigenous renewable resources secure supply for power, heat, transport desalination sectors by year 2050. The costs, CO2 emissions land use requirements system transition pathways are examined. An model in technology-rich, hourly multi-region resolution was applied. In an entirely renewables-based system, cumulative cost 2050 is estimated be 206 billion €, while scenario with least growth renewables dominated fossil fuels, respective 290 €. Solar photovoltaics, including prosumer solar provided 84% annual primary country Battery storage plays a significant role from 2030 onwards meeting 34% final electricity demand Results indicate that increasing total Lanka can met through diverse mix technologies. future best characterised Power-to-X economy, if not Solar-to-X economy.

Technological and policy directions for scaling-up blue hydrogen in India

Energy and Climate Change, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 5, P. 100149 - 100149

Published: Aug. 12, 2024

The Government of India has indicated that hydrogen as an energy carrier will be a key part its decarbonization solutions. Greater policy focus been noticed on green produced from electrolysis using renewable-powered electricity. That said, some other missions, such the National Coal Gasification Mission, could directly tie into blue production (from fossil fuels with CO2 storage). In this paper, we suggest two major initiatives for effective deployment hydrogen. These include comprehensive measurement programme fugitive emissions and level-playing field to ensure parity among sources. Moreover, also provide insights why coalbed methane underground coal gasification somewhat overlooked feedstock doing so, paper outlines current state-of-the-art in India, recommendations scale-up.
