ABSTRACT Electricity supply that is effective, dependable, and reasonably priced is a key component of economic success in every nation. With an estimated population of 200 million, Nigeria is one of the nations in the West African sub-region. Only 45% of them have a connection to electricity. The projected 7MW total grid generation capacity currently powers residential regions as well as commercial, industrial, social, as well as institutional centers. This is utterly insufficient for real development. Based on this, the goal of this research is to integrate and diversify the power industry in order to utilize all available energy sources, including renewable ones. The goal of the study "Techno-economic design as well as the incorporation of environmentally friendly Hybrid PV/Wind/Diesel Turbine generation into the Nigerian power system" aims to combine energy sources made up of fossil fuels with renewable (photovoltaic) energy sources in order to produce more energy at a cheaper cost while causing the least amount of environmental damage. A framework for technological, economic, and environmental optimization will be created, added to HOMER, a computer program used to study renewable energy, and implemented on the Nigerian power grid. The study's findings show that a hybrid configuration not only outperforms the base case simulation when put up against the NPC for all six simulations, but also did better in terms of electricity output, fuel efficiency, and CO2 reduction. |
