Off-grid Electrical Power Generation and Environmental Impact with Renewable Energy in India

Abstract
India is developing country and electricity demand is increase day by day. Many of Indian villages about 18000 are not electrified since independence. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) is a government of India scheme designed to provide continuous power supply to off-grid rural India. The purpose of this paper is to propose the best hybrid technology combination for off-grid electrification of rural area where conventional grid power supply is not possible. Electricity need for an off-grid remote area supply from a mixture of biodiesel generator, small hydro plant and renewable energy resources to satisfy in a reliable manner. Here we are using HOMERTM (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) software is used for whole analysis. The simulation results indicate that the proposed hybrid system would be a feasible solution for distributed generation of electric power for remote locations compare to conventional grid extension.
