Abstract

In this study, the optimum hybrid systems to meet the electrical and thermal load needs of a farm with a capacity of 100 cattle, off-grid, which is considered to be located in a rural part of Sarayköy District of Konya Province, Turkey, with PV/Wind/Biomass/Diesel energy sources have been investigated with HOMER-Pro software. The hybrid system will meet the electrical load of the barn and the farmhouse and the thermal load of the farmhouse and biogas unit. The heating energy requirement of the farmhouse has been calculated with the IZODER TS 825 thermal insulation program developed according to the Turkish Standards Institute Thermal Insulation Standard 2164. In determining the biogas unit's thermal load, the biogas reactor's heat energy requirement, which is sized according to the amount of waste material of the farm, has been taken into account. According to the results obtained depending on the meteorological characteristics of the examined region, it has been determined that a solar panel with a capacity of 0.213 kW, a wind turbine with a capacity of 9.6 kW, a biogas generator with a capacity of 10 kW, 4 lead-acid batteries with a capacity of 12V-67 Ah and a converter with a capacity of 0.465 kW must be present in the optimum hybrid system. In addition, it has been determined that the thermal load controller is very important in reducing CO2 emissions among the hybrid system components.
