| Abstract | This study presents a simulation and cost analysis of a distributed energy system for a typical Southern California residential home. A method of simulating a residentially distributed energy system comprised of a fuel cell, a battery, and photovoltaics has been developed. The simulation was performed by developing solar insolation profiles and diurnal demand profiles from energy statistics, and then using them to determine the performance of the system components and estimate the annual operational costs. The results of this simulation were then used to assess the cost effectiveness of the energy system as household size and system component capacities were varied. The simulation results show that the increasing of the photovoltaic capacity has a significant impact on reducing the payback time as higher capacities reduce operation costs by allowing for more electricity to be sold back to the grid. The results payback period decreases as the number of members in a household increases. However, it is found that variation in the capacity of the battery does not have a significant impact on payback time and tends to reduce system performance or adds unnecessary cost if capacity increases or decreases from an optimal value. The present work plays an important role not only for policy makers and utility companies to promote the renewable energy usage, but also for residents to understand the benefits of distributed energy system in residential applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
