Abstract
The use of renewable energies from a hybrid system to generate electricity in remote areas has been a viable alternative to meet the demands of electricity in isolated communities, without reaching the conventional electricity distribution system. This project makes an analysis of the technical and economic feasibility of the implementation of a hybrid solar/wind system with battery storage for a community in the Xai-Xai district in Mozambique. For this purpose, wind and radiation climatological data as well as load demand were provided as input parameters in the HOMER software. The proposed system obtained 63% and 37% of the energy generated by PV and wind sources, respectively, and is characterized as a promising alternative to supply the demand in that community. The sensitivity analysis and optimization results show that the optimal solutions are significantly affected by the uncertainty of key variables.
