SYSTEM COMPONENTS
In micro grid system diesel generator bio gas as a fuel, PV system, wind turbine, energy storage devices and converters to survive the loads. Microgrid systems implemented in homer software here two systems considered the fist system is without grid and the second system is with grid. According to this particular place need to take source of resources like solar irradiance and wind data, load data, especially cost of the all components in the systems. The fallowing sections are described full details all the components, resources and design of microgrid and its operation. The two systems of micro grid as shown in the figure 1. During the time spent arranging and improvement of a micro grid display utilizing Homer programming, certain essentials can be recognized. Right off the bat, the parts of the smaller scale matrix should be resolved will incorporate the different sources, burdens and converters. The sort, structure, economic cost and different properties of every one of the parts are given to contributions to these Homer models. After the parts are set, there is a need to acquire the models of assets which will comprise of hourly variety of wind speed and sun oriented radiation information. In addition, the sort and costs of fuel assets utilized are additionally given. Just with this arrangement of Data sources one can proceed with the reproduction and streamlining procedure of the micro grid framework. The accompanying subsection gives a point by point depiction on the general schematic of the created micro grid, every one of the parts and assets inputs required for the reproduction procedure.

OVERALL SCHEMATIC
The general frame work of the micro grid with its different parts is shown beneath in Fig. 2. It comprises of spiral AC transport to every one of the parts are associated. As far as sustainable power source age a variety of photovoltaic modules and Wind Turbines are considered in the framework. Bio Diesel Generators (DG) filled by diesel is additionally taken as hotspot for a portion to the designs. Yield to the different sources is associated with the DC transport through legitimate converters. The heaps of framework can change to be household and business stack which can have a place with either a provincial or an urban territory. These heaps can to be further sub delegated essential and secondary stacks as appeared shows in figure. As the inexhaustible sources are discontinuous in nature and the micro grid framework is considered to work self-ruling, vitality stockpiling turns into a significant segment. What's more, thus, vitality stockpiling as lead corrosive batteries are considered.

LOAD PROFILE
Homer shows hourly estimations as one of load profile of its information sources. In this investigation, two load profiles are taken as considered. The principal stack profile is that of a town which is illustrative of rustic situation. The second one is a urban building or a network. Here as shown in the above figures load profiles of hourly, monthly, yearly data primary and secondary loads with a an average load of 11.26 kWh/day.

Photovoltaic generation
A conventional level plate type PV (Photovoltaic) board is considered for this investigation. The lifetime of the PV boards is considered as 20 years and the power output rating is 1 kW with a derating factor is considered at 80%. The photovoltaic (PV) derating factor is a scaling factor that HOMER applies to the PV exhibit power yield to represent diminished yield in genuine working conditions contrasted with the conditions under which the PV board was appraised. Utilize the derating component to represent such factors as ruining of the boards, wiring misfortunes, concealing, snow spread, maturing, etc.

………………………………..(1)
Where, YPV is the rated capacity of the PV in kW, fPV is the PV derating factor, GT is the solar radiation incident on the PV array in kW/m2, GT,STC is the incident radiation at standard test conditions (1 kW/m2), is the temperature coefficient of power (%/°C), TC is the PV cell temperature in °C, TC,STC is the PV cell temperature under standard test conditions (25 °C).
We can see that the capital cost of PV generation is further subdivided into three parts. The prices mentioned are the actual prices incurred while designing a laboratory setup of a DC micro grid at the Electrical Engineering, JNTU HYD, and India. Cost components and the breakdown of capital cost for PV generation capital cost is 3000 $, replacement cost is 2900$ and operating & maintenance cost is10 $ per 1 Kw.

Wind turbine generation
A model of generic 3 kW wind turbine which is already available in HOMER library is used for modelling the generation from wind energy. The power curve of the WT is given in Fig. 4. Using this power curve, the output of the WT is calculated in a three-step process. The capital, replacement and operation & maintenance cost of the WT are taken as 18,000 $/kW, 17,500 $/kW and 180$/kW/year respectively. The various cost components that makes up the capital cost includes the cost of turbine rotor, tower, control system, wiring and installation. Here, the lifetime of the wind turbine is considered as 20 years and hub height is 17 m.

Battery energy storage
A model of nonexclusive 1 kW h lead corrosive battery is utilized for displaying the vitality stockpiling unit. This specific sort of battery is picked because of its moderately great exhibition and minimal effort. The different properties of the battery are given in Table 5. Subsequent to considering a portion of the famous battery producing brands in India, the capital expense of a 1 kW h lead corrosive battery is taken as 154$. This incorporates the battery mounting unit, establishment and wiring costs. The substitution cost is accepted same as the capital while the activity and support cost is taken as 15.4$/kW h/year.

Diesel generator
In a portion of the reenactment work completed in this paper, age from diesel generators are likewise thought of. The major physical properties of a generator are the most extreme and least electrical force yield, lifetime in number of working hours, the fuel type, and its fuel bend, which gives the connection between amounts of fuel devoured to electrical force delivered [16]. The fuel bend is expected as a straight line with a y block which is given by the accompanying condition for fuel utilization: Where, F0 is the fuel curve intercept coefficient, F1 is the fuel curve slope, Ygen is the rated capacity of the generator in kW and Pgen is the electrical output of the generator in kW.
A conventional 500 kW gen set which is promptly accessible in Homer assets library is utilized for this reason. The lifetime of the generator is considered as 15,000 h. The capital and substitution cost is taken as 385$ per kW of the generator evaluations. While the activity and upkeep cost of the generator unit per kW is taken as 0.15$/h. Other than these information sources, the costs of the fuel are examined in the following area. As the generator yield is as air conditioning, converters are expected to associate it to the DC miniaturized scale framework arrange. Here a nonexclusive converter is considered for demonstrating in Homer. As the progression of intensity back to the matrix isn't considered in this examination, the essential capacity of the converter is to redress the air conditioner yield to dc. Furthermore, subsequently the costs of the converter are additionally similarly lesser when contrasted with a bidirectional converter. Here, for this examination, after a decent measure of study on the Indian markets, the capital expense of the converter is considered as 154$ per kW. The lifetime and effectiveness of the converter is considered as 15 years and 90% respectively.

RESOURCES DATA
Assets to be depicted of anything to originate from outside of the micro grid framework and this is utilized by the framework to produce electrical power. The inexhaustible assets can change massively with area. The sort and nature of accessible asset impacts the conduct and financial aspects of the micro grid framework, since they decide the amount and timing of intensity generation. What's more, subsequently a watchful choice or displaying of sustainable asset information is a fundamental component for the general recreation and streamlining process. Assets information as sun powered light, wind speed and fuel costs are taken as one of the contributions for the recreation procedure in Homer. With the end goal to create reasonable displaying consequences of the planned micro grid, wind speed and sun oriented light information are acquired from the National Renewable Energy database. For a given territory in the Indian subcontinent, the dataset 3 hourly estimations of climate information for the era of 2011-2017. A year from this dataset is picked and is given as a contribution to Homer. For this examination, the information of sun powered Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) is acquired for the zone of Nellore. The normal day by day illumination for every one of the month during the time is given in Fig. 4. The clearness list for every one of the month is additionally given in a similar figure. Here clearness record is a proportion of clearness of the environment. It is the bit of the additional earthbound sunlight based radiation that achieves the earth surface. For wind speed information, Indian city of Nellore in Andhra Pradesh is considered. At long last, the kind of fuel for use in the diesel generator is likewise given as an asset contribution for the reenactment. Here, rather than typical diesel, biodiesel is taken as a fuel of decision. Despite the fact that it has a lower warming quality (38.50 MJ/kg) than that of typical diesel, it produces lesser discharges. The costs of the biodiesel are considered as 0.53$ per liter which is additionally impressively lower than typical diesel costs

MICROGRID SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION
Recreation of the small scale lattice framework is completed in Homer to anticipate the ideal framework setup. The reenactment procedure models the presentation of a framework design to decide its specialized plausibility and life-cycle cost. Once more, the improvement procedure reenacts a wide range of framework designs looking for one which fulfills the specialized limitations at the most minimal life cycle cost. For this investigation, contingent upon the sort of burden, parts of the microgrid framework are picked appropriately. It is to be noticed that the choice of sustainable power source age simply relies upon the accessibility of the comparing assets in the territory. After this, appropriate contributions of wind speed information, sun oriented light information and fuel costs are likewise given. Homer likewise acknowledges a scope of contributions to terms of the limit of every age, stockpiling units, fuel costs and so on. Also, from inside the predefined limit, Homer chooses the ideal size of every one of the parts. The last reenactment result yields a lot of framework design which are masterminded arranged by least costs of vitality. What's more, alongside this streamlining result monetary examination are additionally completed in further areas. Two of the fundamental monetary components for the enhancement procedure are the all out Net Present Cost and levelized Cost of Energy . Here, NPC (or Life Cycle Cost) of a part is the current estimation of the considerable number of expenses of introducing and working that segment over the undertaking lifetime, short the current estimation of the considerable number of incomes that it procures over the task lifetime [7]. The two components rely upon the annualized cost of the framework. The total NPC is calculated as [10]: Where CTANN is the total annualized cost, i is the actual interest rate, N is the number of years and CRF(i,N) is the capital recovery factor which is calculated as following: (a) (b) Fig 5. (a) Homer simulation diagram for without grid (b) Homer simulation diagram for with grid

The levelized cost of energy
3 Where, Els is the electrical energy that is supplied by the micro grid and Egrid is the amount of electricity sold by the micro grid to the main grid. Here in HOMER, the complete NPC is the financially favored component and not the levelized COE as every one of these choices is to some degree subjective.
A framework dispatch procedure is additionally established which gives a lot of rules to control the activity of the dispatch capable framework parts (generators, battery bank and so forth.). For every hour of the year, the reenactment study decides whether the inexhaustible sources (which are non dispatchable) can gracefully the heaps. In the event that the heaps can't be met, the most ideal approach to dispatch the dispatchable parts is resolved. The central rule that is followed in dispatching is minimization of cost. Furthermore, subsequently, a blend of dispatchable sources with a least working expense is in this way decided and actualized. A similar cost based dispatch rationale is utilized in all the framework arrangements. For all the reenactments, the lifetime of the task is taken to be 25 years. The accompanying subsection subtleties the reproduction techniques of the diverse micro grid setup considered for the examination.
