Abstract
In this article an on-grid hybrid renewable power plant model has been proposed at Khanpur Dam to feed power
to Khanpur village and national grid. The irregular nature of renewable energy sources can be compensated
through Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) scheme, as Khanpur Dam is a large reservoir of stored hydro energy.
Three operation schemes of the hybrid system have been proposed and simulation results have been calculated
on HOMER using physical data of Khanpur Dam. The decision of selection of energy sources from hydro, solar
and wind is made on the basis of optimum cost, generated output, capacity factor and maintenance of the sources
by using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results demonstrate that cheap, reliable and environmental
friendly power solution with 90% to 95% power autonomy can be achieved, with a significant decrease in the
CO2 emission.
