Abstract

Bangladesh is currently facing a significant energy crisis, compounded by its limited foreign exchange reserves in the central bank. Despite being classified as a lower-middle-income country, the nation's electricity generation remains heavily reliant on non-renewable energy sources. This research seeks to address these pressing energy challenges by advocating for the adoption of renewable energy solutions. In response to these challenges, a tailored hybrid power plant model is presented for Uttar Char Fasson, an area often marginalized in energy discussions. Situated along the coast, Uttar Char Fasson boasts abundant solar radiation and wind potential, but it contends with erratic energy access. The model offers a practical solution to bridge this energy gap and reduce dependence on the central grid. The capabilities of HOMER Pro software are used to evaluate the viability and optimization of the suggested solution. Using real-time data, this software enables thorough simulations and analyses that cover costing, load demand, and energy production. The research findings demonstrate the practicality and significance of a tailored hybrid off-grid power system exclusively tailored for Uttar Char Fasson. This model effectively mitigates the energy crisis prevalent in underserved regions while simultaneously advancing environmental sustainability objectives. The primary contribution lies in harnessing the untapped potential of solar and wind energy sources, further enhanced by a robust battery storage mechanism.
