Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore a new model to generate electricity with higher penetration rate of renewable energy. Conventional system to generate electricity is to generate large amount electricity at power station and then deliver to the consumer through long transmission line and distribution system. The losses and costs, incorporated with these processes, are not negligible. Another System is the Solar Home System (SHS) which is being used to replace traditional kerosene based lamp, battery based TV, fan and light bulb from 1998 in Bangladesh. But with the advancement of technology, the demand of the consumer is increasing significantly. To meet this demand it is necessary to expand national grid connection. An alternative way is to produce sufficient power using renewable resources at consuming spots. A novel method to achieve this goal has been discussed in this paper which is supported by the field study of Bangladesh University. Also a comparison has been shown with traditional power system.
