Abstract - In this study an economic feasibility analysis and a simplified design of a standalone solar PV, Wind Energy and hybrid system with a battery system as a storage power source supplying a village is presented. The main objective of this study is to reduce the cost of electricity by using renewable energy sources for generation of electricity. This paper proposes the most feasible configuration of solar PV, Wind and hybrid system with batteries as back up for a remote village Umrikheda in Dist. Indore (M.P.). The sizing calculation of the PV system is based on the basic mathematical expressions, sunshine hours and the daily electrical load of the village Umrikheda (Latitude: 22° 43'N, Longitude: 75° 49' E). The designed system serves the load of 150 kWh/day and calculation of Capital cost (Rs./kWP), Unit cost of electricity (Rs./kWh), Life cycle cost (LCC) analysis, CO2 emission mitigation, carbon credit and energy payback time (EPBT) of standalone PV system are presented in this paper. For analysis purposes HOMER simulation software has been used. It is found that electrifying rural small community using this system is very beneficial and competitive with other types of conventional sources as it decreases both operating costs and pollutant emissions.
