Abstract
OPEN-GAIN project?s aim is to supply fresh water and electricity to rural remote communities not connected to the public grid, using the renewable energies and the reverse osmosis desalination technique. In this paper, the system used is described and several scenarios were investigated in the simulation to compare the PV only and Wind only systems with the hybrid system. The simulations were carried out using HOMER tool provided by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory). The results show that the combination of PV and WT power generators, with batteries, allows obtaining a better renewable energy fraction of 95%.
