Abstract

This paper introduced the techno-economic analysis on PV-Battery-Diesel generator application for a remote Qatar’s desert farm. The desert climate and PV resources in Qatar were first discussed. The typical load in the remote farm was described with its profile throughout a day. Based on the load profile and PV resources availability, the techno-economic analysis was performed to seek the best option for providing the electricity to meet the electricity demand on the farm. The option of various photovoltaic (PV) systems coupled with other generation sources and energy storage was considered. When performing the analysis, reasonable assumptions were used for the facts and information that were not available. The techno-economic analysis showed that the hybrid energy system that coupled PV-Battery-Diesel generator was the best option economically.
