There are isolated diesel power stations in sub-Saharan countries. However, power production by diesel generator is relatively high compared to that of national grid. In addition, public facilities such as rural school and health clinic have important role inproviding adequate public services in non-electrified communities. Therefore, in order to reduce power production cost, optimum configuration of the wind diesel hybrid generation system and the economic feasibility were studied. In the study, operational data of the existing diesel generator and wind potential were analyzed and optimum configuration of wind and diesel hybrid system was proposed. In addition, economic feasibility study of the hybrid system was conducted. In the result, EIRR （economic internal rate of return） of the proposed wind-diesel hybrid power plant was obtained as 10%.展开更多
