Analysis of a hybrid renewable energy system on the Mures valley using Homer

Renewable energy technologies offer the promise of clean, abundant energy gathered from self-renewing resources such as the sun, wind, earth, and plants. Virtually all regions of the world have renewable resources of one type or another. This paper deals with the modeling and analysis of a hybrid system based on renewable energy resources, located on the Mure valley, using a dedicated software named HOMER. Different types and topologies of renewable resources for the energy supply are analyzed; a small consumer situated on the Mure Valley is modeled based on a load curve. Finally, the energy flows between the renewable energy system and the local supplying network are analyzed.
