DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A HYBRID ENERGY NEUTRAL HOME SYSTEM FOR BANGLADESH

Abstract

Bangladesh is passing a crucial time in power sector due
to power shortage. The electricity production is mainly
dependent on non-renewable energy resources in
Bangladesh. For that reason, the reserve of natural
resources or non-renewable energy sources such as:
fossil fuels, oil, natural gas etc. are diminishing day by
day. So this is the time to search such a system where the
residential areas of Bangladesh become Energy Neutral.
This paper demonstrates such a hybrid Energy Neutral
Home (ENH) which is designed, implemented and
analyzed with the cost effectiveness for both rural and
urban areas of Bangladesh and it justifies the
applicability of the system in both areas. The designed
system is able to meet the energy requirement with
renewable energy resources without taking any electricity
from grid. In this research, mainly biogas and solar
systems are used as hybrid renewable energy sources for
the generation of electricity.
