Abstract

Global economy is developing rapidly and consequently energy requirements has been focused, particularly in developing countries. There are potentials of using renewable energies in the cities and Islands located in Iranian Seas. In this study, five locations in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, combining of wind and solar energies have been considered. This paper evaluates the best locations for using different renewable energies in some important cities in the south of Iran. The paper presents a comparative study among different hybrid renewable energies (Wind and Solar) in five cities of Iran located in the coast of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman namely, Kish Island, Qeshm Island, Chabahar, Jask, and Genaveh. To evaluate the feasibility of using renewable energies in the above-mentioned locations, four types of building namely; hospital, large hotel, medium office, and strip mall have been analyzed. HOMER Software has been used to analyze and optimize different configurations. Considering the load profiles of chosen cases, the optimum solution for different configuration along with cost summary is obtained and analyzed. The simulation results presents that Kish Island owns the most load profile among other cities and PV-Diesel-Battery-Converter is the most suitable hybrid system, which possesses the optimum cost for the considered buildings. Moreover, Chabahar has mostly the most amount of carbon emission for the proposed case studies and owns the maximum lowest cost system among all considered cities except in the case of large hotel where Jask has the maximum initial capital cost.
