Abstract The aim of this chapter was to present an idea of using free sources of energy for designing stand-alone hybrid renewable energy system. This stand-alone hybrid system is used for powering the Electrical Engineering Department of AMGOI, located at latitude and longitude 16.8347 and 74.3148, respectively, of Peth Vadgaon Kolhapur, Maharashtra. The target of designing this system is to find the optimal net present cost (NPC), cost of energy, emissions, and monthly electricity production. The motive of this paper is to give optimal solution to the problems of energy crisis in the globe. In current scenario, the non-renewable sources are available in plenty amount to fulfill our increasing demand. Considering the above information, we have made an effort to analyze advantage of distributed generation. If we use only solar power or wind power, it can fluctuate and is not a reliable source of energy. The combination of solar and wind energy sources with diesel generator provides a reliable generation and a constant source of energy flow for the designed system. The main task of this research work is to analyze the possibility of solar–wind–diesel hybrid power system by maximizing the use of non-conventional generation system while minimizing the total system cost.

1 Introduction In recent era, there is a great scope for advancement in power generation considering environment-friendly technology such as renewable energy technology which is technically viable and environment friendly. All over the world, effort is being made to study the feasibility of renewable energy incorporated within hybrid system which will prove to be the best alternative of diesel generator.

energy system offers an attractive and practical solution to meet electrical power demand in rural communities around the globe [1–3]. Main drawbacks of the stand-alone system are irregular delivery of power due to fluctuations of energy as provided by free source of energy. This can be a bottleneck in different areas, such as agriculture and factory, where reliable and continuous supply are required. Such types of problems can be solved by using stand-alone hybrid systems. A hybrid power system usually consists of more than two energy sources to increase the efficiency and reliability. In comparison with conventional sources, hybrid system uses the better features of individual energy resource. The electricity generated by hybrid system has quality as par with conventional ones, with a wide power range. The major advantage of a hybrid system is that it is continuous and r
