Optimal Energy Mix and Operation Cost in the Presence of Nuclear and Solar PV Generation
This paper presents the electrical energy condition in Bangladesh. By analyzing the tentative energy demand by the year of 2025 the aspect of energy crisis is discussed. Several ongoing Government projects and their contribution to meet future demand, along with current renewable energy scenario are acknowledged. The prospects of feasible renewable energy resources are considered. To fulfill the electrical energy demand until the year 2025, energy mix has been proposed. Three comparative scenarios have been considered for the year 2018, 2021 and 2025. The west zone power stations and sub-stations are considered to carry out the load at different buses at a minimum cost. Linear programmed optimum power flow method has been used to evaluate the generating capacity as well as the selling price of each generating stations for both off-peak and on-peak hour of generation. The emission of CO 2 is calculated by considering the emission of each fuel type used in different generating stations.
