摘要：The study aimed at determining the technoeconomic
viability of renewable energy mix for sustained
power supply in 3 sites of Northern Nigeria. It investigated the
viability of grid connected renewable power sources of PV
standalone, Wind standalone and PV-Wind Hybrid systems.
Three sites were selected to ascertain the feasibility of
producing energy from renewable sources, while considering
the prevailing regulations and feed-in tariff for renewable
electricity in Nigeria as stipulated by the Nigerian Electricity
Regulatory Commission (NERC). NERC used the Weighted
Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to determine the Feed-inTariff
for power generation. The 24 years daily global solar
radiations, maximum and minimum daily temperature data
and wind speed data that were employed for this study were
provided by the Nigeria Meteorological agency (NIMET),
Oshodi, Lagos, Nigeria. Optimised designs were developed for
each location. The results showed that with the current real
WACC stipulated in NERCs Regulations on Feed-in Tariff for
Renewable Energy Sourced Electricity in Nigeria, the Wind
standalone system was found to be most suitable for Katsina
(North-west) and Ilorin (North-central), while the PV-Wind
hybrid system only slightly improved the viability of
harnessing the RE resources of solar PV and wind energy at a
debt to equity ratio of 70 to 30%. However, if the WACC is
improved such that the real WACC is reduced by 5%, all the
three PV standalone power plants become viable, alongside all
of the Wind standalone power plants in terms of Net Present
Value and annual profits. Hence, this study reveals that with
proper economic incentives, RE for grid generation can be
profitable in Nigeria.
