Abstract : Decentralised renewable energy based systems are an economic option in developing nations for rural electrification where grid extension is not feasible. This study focuses on a RE based optimally designed off grid supply system for a rural Indian village. Homer is used to conduct the techno-economic study and estimate the optimal system size and electricity cost. The study evaluates the suitability of all possible standalone micro resources such as PV, wind diesel, and battery. Study results show that solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System based system offers the lowest net present cost and cost of electricity for the off-grid residential microgrid in India under study. The PV-BESS system with a lowest lifetime electricity cost and a net present cost .The optimal system operation is validated using MATLAB Simulink.
