Abstract:
This Master thesis examines whether it is feasible from an economic, social and ecological perspective to run a village electricity system by using locally produced bio-mass through a mix of diesel and renewable energy resource. It is assessed whether the cultivation and processing of SVO (Strait vegetable Oil) in the village using different bio-mass fuel contributes to rural development and poverty reduction. In remote areas of Pakistan supply of energy from national grid is insufficient for sustainable development. Integration and optimization of local alternative renewable energy sources is an optional solution of this problem.
In this research, we study for electrification of Chakri village of District Attock in Pakistan, which is completely non-electrified rural area with almost 1500 population. The need of rural electricity is met by conventional approaches is not so far. In economic perspective, non-conventional forms of rural electrification may least-cost in research. In this research we are trying to manage electrification for non-electrified rural areas of Pakistan by using Bio-fuel and renewable energy resource to reduce the burden on electricity supply shortfalls and urgency of costly grid extension planning. Renewable energy from photovoltaics, wind turbines and small hydro plants is most suitable for off-grid electricity supply and has been successfully introduced in countless cases in developing countries. The application of biomass as a sustainable electricity source seems promising, it is still seldom perceived as an option for generation of electricity to the rural areas.
Energy plays an important role in the economic and technological advancement of modern society and plays crucial role in human life. In hilly and rural areas, energy situation in terms of availability and demand is very different from that in the urban areas. Large parts of hilly and remotely located regions are still un-electrified.
This research carried out for load management during a typical rainy, flood, winter, and summer for different seasons.
The results with different parameters by using C++ by YOGISOFT, MATLAB, HOMER Energy and ETAP 6.0.0 software are presents.
