Abstract

This work presents a more sustainable approach to electricity generation using an optimized hybrid Wind/Photovoltaic renewable energy system for telecommunication industries in Port Harcourt. It uses sensitivity analysis of the optimized hybrid system model developed and performs comparative analysis of the selected energy schemes with fossil generation system in terms of energy production, cost, based on Net Present-Value (NPV). The HOMER Software was used to simulate as much as 25 different scenarios. The result of the comparative cost analysis show that Net Present-Value (NPV), Annualized Cost, Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), Operating Cost/Year are lower or cheaper for the PV/Generator Network compared to Grid/Generator network. This study established that there is comparative cost advantage of solar energy utilization in improving power supply in Nigeria.
