Abstract

The microgrid with renewable energy sources (RES) is capable to fulfill the local energy demand, and can inject the remaining energy in to power grid at distribution level. It can mitigate the problem of greenhouse gases emission too. This paper discussed the optimal design and simulation of grid connected micro grid for a residential building of the Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh region, considering solar photovoltaic system. A model is proposed and simulated using Homer energy software. Simulation results reveals that the proposed residential microgrid is cost effective as compared to the utility grid in fulfilling the full load demand. It is calculated that the cost of solar generation is 0.081 $/kWh while for the grid it is 0.099 $/kWh for the considered region. Further, impact of proposed grid on the environment is also analyzed, it is also observed the proposed grid design inject the negligible harmful greenhouse gases in the environment.
