Abstract :
In our work we have studied the feasibility of supplying maximum possible peak hour load through micro generation using rooftop wind turbines and solar PV panels in a low wind speed urban area. Due to easy access to grid in a city, a `grid-tie´ arrangement has been designed in this paper that can ensure the sale of excess off-peak generations to make the system profitable. Choice of proper turbine and DC storage device based on above system considering corresponding cost analysis for a developing country like Bangladesh has also been presented here. Finally a new tariff structure suitable for designed arrangement has been proposed.
