Abstract:
Bangladesh is a developing country with energy
problem causing various after effects like load shedding,
energy distribution & transmission. Major problem is
population and adding more population may end in more
scarcity of electricity distribution. Rohingya people fled away
from Myanmar makes the number of population rising and
energy problem is also increasing with more people as
Bangladesh Government decided to relocate them in an island
called Bhashan Char (Also known as Thenger Char, Char
Piya). Bhashan Char is located at the southwest part of
Bangladesh away from the main land and in the Bay of Bengal.
Energy distribution from National grid is not a solution to the
problem and as it is a remote area and detached from the main
land transmission from the National grid is not feasible. The
only solution is to provide electricity with renewable resources
by means of PV, Wind or any other electricity generation
systems. The HOMER simulation software was used for the
design. The software also predicts the cost of electricity with
sustainable manners. The proposed system has per unit
electricity cost of 8.9 BDT.
