Prospects and Economic Feasibility Analysis of Solar PV/Hydrogen Fuel-based Power System for Green City

Meeting the energy demands of self-sustaining off-grid systems, especially in regions with extreme solar intermittency and energy consumption patterns like northern climates, requires effective short-term and seasonal energy storage solutions. This research investigates the feasibility and economic viability of a solar PV/hydrogen fuel-based power system for a green city. Employing the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) software, an extensive analysis is conducted to optimize and simulate the proposed system. And a comprehensive assessment is performed to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of implementing this system in a green city context. Key factors such as potential energy generation capacity, system efficiency, and economic viability are thoroughly analyzed. The findings reveal that the proposed system offers a reliable and sustainable energy source for a green city. By significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing a cost-effective solution to meet the city's energy requirements, this system showcases its potential in addressing environmental concerns.
