Techno-Economic Optimization of a Grid-Connected PV–Wind–BESS Microgrid for Commercial Loads in Bangladesh

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Renewable Energy Systems are gaining prominence due to the rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the need for sustainable, reliable energy sources. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the sizing of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems to enable efficient integration and penetration into contemporary power systems. This paper presents a techno-economic study of a grid-tied hybrid microgrid comprising a Photovoltaic system, a wind turbine, and a battery energy storage system to serve a commercial market load. To model and optimize the proposed system, HOMER Pro is used to minimize Net Present Cost, Cost of Energy, and annual CO2emissions, and to assess system reliability. Additionally, sensitivity analysis is performed by varying several key system parameters to assess the system's performance under uncertainty. The results generally show that hybrid microgrids can be a flexible, cheap, and ecologically friendly way to meet commercial power needs in urban areas.
