Analysis of a Solar Hybrid Electricity Generation System for a Rural Community in River State, Nigeria

Kelvin Nkalo Ukoima et al.

Summary: This paper presents a technical and economic analysis of a solar-wind electricity generation system in Nigeria using the RETScreen software. The results showed that with an initial cost of USD 870,000 and annual value of electricity generated at 902 MWh, the system has a simple payback of 5.1 years and a net present value of USD 3,409,532 when 0.2 USD/KWh is used as the annual export rate. The study suggests the potential for installing a wind-solar system in the region based on average weather conditions.
