Abstract
The obtained results show that the integration of renewable energy sources technologies has a beneficial effect on the LCOE of isolated microgrids. The introduction of PV panels allows, in the optimal case, a LCOE reduction of 19% in comparison with system based only on Diesel engine. A further, twice as much, decrease (up to 38%) is attainable using biomass as main energy source: both Gasifier-based and ORC-based systems show similar economic performances and ensure a share of electricity generated by renewables of about 95%.
