A feasibility study of microgrids for implementing the smart village concept in developing region

Abstract

The stability of a microgrid system optimised using HOMERQuickstart in a tiny village in the developing nation of India's Gurmia is examined in this study in the case of a fault. Significant solar and wind energy potential exists at the chosen site, and by effectively utilizing these resources in the form of a hybrid microgrid system, significant power issues can be resolved while the existing grid is replaced. The optimisation model found in the HOMERQuickstart package is simulated in this study using Simulink. A variety of microgrid energy connectivity situations are examined, and the corresponding transient behaviour in the case of a fault is noted.
