“…Wind velocity distribution is commonly described using the Weibull function with two parameters, a widely recognised standard method for assessing local wind probabilities. It has shown accurate fitting with wind data from worldwide regions [12][13]. Studies have consistently highlighted the Weibull distribution's superior fitting capabilities to wind speed data and its comparatively simple mathematical expression compared to other distribution families [14].…”

This article explores the feasibility of using wind energy to generate electricity in four sites distributed across different geographical provinces of the Kingdom of Morocco (Fes, El Hajeb, Ifrane, Taounate). The objective is to provide accurate scientific information to facilitate decision-making regarding optimal investments in wind technology for electricity production. The data used in this study are sourced from the Windographer software database, which catalogues locations in Morocco. It includes average wind speeds measured per hour at a height of 10 meters for 43 years, extrapolated to different sizes. The sites are selected based on their wind potential for various energy applications. The wind turbine is suitable for the viable site in terms of grid integration and is determined based on the estimation of their capacity factor. One of the study's key findings reveals that the studied sites have limited wind resources and are not viable for grid integration, except for the province of Fes. This information could serve as a basis for developing a renewable energy policy to expand wind energy in Morocco.

“…In the recent decade, DG has evolved as a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional electric energy sources, and technological innovations are enabling DGs to be economically viable (Ackermann et al, 2001). The most interesting characteristic of DG is that it is scattered throughout the network, is nearby to customers, offers several different technologies, and provides massive energy (Ali et al, 2023). There are various resources about DG technology and integration.…”

Microgrids have benefited energy systems by getting rid of the abundant use of traditional energy resources, replacing them with distributed generations (DGs). The use of DGs in microgrids not only provides clean and green energy but also reduces the gigantic losses in transmission and distribution lines. Widespread adoption of renewable energy in microgrids saves customers from high fuel prices and provides a sustainable replacement for future fossil fuel depletion. Microgrids have proven to be the latest and most advanced power systems due to their new capabilities to operate in both grid-connected and isolated modes. Microgrids use multiple energy sources simultaneously, which can offset the intermittent behavior of renewable energy sources. In this study, we planned and optimized an industrial microgrid with an annual increase in load, which contains dispatchable generation, non-dispatched generation, and energy storage. In addition, to test the different behavior of a microgrid operating independently or in grid-tied mode, four typical days were selected to show the load demand and solar and wind energy forecast data for the entire year. The power output curves for each typical day were analyzed for every year in both stand-alone and grid-connected modes. Furthermore, to validate the feasibility of the microgrid, the investment and operations costs were also calculated in the paper.

“…Wind and solar energy are particularly viable options for reducing carbon emissions and making the world safer and cleaner [4][5][6]. Renewable energy resources in Ethiopia, including solar [7][8][9], biomass [10,11], wind [12][13][14], and hybrid renewable energy sources [15,16], have recently undergone assessments in order to develop cleaner power generation and contribute to the energy security of this developing country in East Africa.…”

Access to cheap, clean energy has a significant impact on a country’s ability to develop sustainably. Fossil fuels have a major impact on global warming and are currently becoming less and less profitable when used to generate power. In order to replace the diesel generators that are connected to the university of Debre Markos’ electrical distribution network with hybrid renewable energy sources, this study presents optimization and techno-economic feasibility analyses of proposed hybrid renewable systems and their overall cost impact in stand-alone and grid-connected modes of operation. Metaheuristic optimization techniques such as enhanced whale optimization algorithm (EWOA), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), and African vultures’ optimization algorithm (AVOA) are used for the optimal sizing of the hybrid renewable energy sources according to financial and reliability evaluation parameters. After developing a MATLAB program to size hybrid systems, the total current cost (TCC) was calculated using the aforementioned metaheuristic optimization techniques (i.e., EWOA, WOA, and AVOA). In the grid-connected mode of operation, the TCC was 4.507 × 106 EUR, 4.515 × 106 EUR, and 4.538 × 106 EUR, respectively, whereas in stand-alone mode, the TCC was 4.817 × 106 EUR, 4.868 × 106 EUR, and 4.885 × 106 EUR, respectively. In the grid-connected mode of operation, EWOA outcomes lowered the TCC by 0.18% using WOA and 0.69% using AVOA, and by 1.05% using WOA and 1.39% using AVOA in stand-alone operational mode. In addition, when compared with different financial evaluation parameters such as net present cost (NPC) (EUR), cost of energy (COE) (EUR/kWh), and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) (EUR/kWh), and reliability parameters such as expected energy not supplied (EENS), loss of power supply probability (LPSP), reliability index (IR), loss of load probability (LOLP), and loss of load expectation (LOLE), EWOA efficiently reduced the overall current cost while fulfilling the constraints imposed by the objective function. According to the result comparison, EWOA outperformed the competition in terms of total current costs with reliability improvements.
