“…The DPWES is able to reduce CO 2 emissions by 48.5 %/year (which culminates in a reduction of the Global Warming Potential) of the DBES and an equivalent fuel cost by 48.5 %/year. This emission reduction is a significant achievement as it will reduce the cost imposed on CO 2 emission by environmental legislations, which is the normal practice in most developed nations [9]. Although there are currently no such environmental legislations in Nigeria, but it has been emphasised in the new energy policy [25].…”

“…Many research works have covered the deployment of hybrid energy systems like a PV-diesel-battery system [7] and a PV-diesel-wind-battery system [8] for locations within Nigeria. In the literature, [9] is reported that there is an increase in the use of renewable energy sources for power generation in remote areas, due to the continuous decrease in the cost of renewable technologies. The author reviewed the current state of the design and operation of stand-alone PV-diesel hybrid energy systems and highlighted the possible future developments of such systems that would increase their socio-economic and environmental acceptance.…”

“…To avoid an over-sized or under-sized system and to ensure reasonable costs, a sizing optimization must be carried out. Wind/solar systems with a battery and/or Diesel generator have been widely studied in terms of sizing optimization, as described in recent reviews [113][114][115][116]. As ocean energies have only been considered recently, such studies for marine energy hybrid systems are still rare.…”

Electrical Power Supply of Remote Maritime Areas: A Review of Hybrid Systems Based on Marine Renewable Energies

Abstract:Ocean energy holds out great potential for supplying remote maritime areas with their energy requirements, where the grid size is often small and unconnected to a continental grid. Thanks to their high maturity and competitive price, solar and wind energies are currently the most used to provide electrical energy. However, their intermittency and variability limit the power supply reliability. To solve this drawback, storage systems and Diesel generators are often used. Otherwise, among all marine renewable energies, tidal and wave energies are reaching an interesting technical level of maturity. The better predictability of these sources makes them more reliable than other alternatives. Thus, combining different renewable energy sources would reduce the intermittency and variability of the total production and so diminish the storage and genset requirements. To foster marine energy integration and new multisource system development, an up-to-date review of projects already carried out in this field is proposed. This article first presents the main characteristics of the different sources which can provide electrical energy in remote maritime areas: solar, wind, tidal, and wave energies. Then, a review of multi-source systems based on marine energies is presented, concerning not only industrial projects but also concepts and research work. Finally, the main advantages and limits are discussed.

“…The normal operating mode of IMG is same as that of islanded mode MG. IMGs can be generally classified in terms of stand-alone/(home and community-based) systems and isolated distribution network based MG. Off-grid small-scale technologies are mainly divided into conventional (diesel-based generation), non-conventional (small-scale hydro, solar, the wind, storage) and hybrid (both conventional and non-conventional) [16,88].…”

“…Also, new MG planning approaches and a few trending techniques are pointed out. Siddaiah et al [16] presented a review of the research work carried out in planning, configuration, modeling, and optimization techniques of hybrid RES for isolated/off-grid applications. The reviewed work offers several mathematical models proposed by various researchers.…”

Smart Distribution Networks: A Review of Modern Distribution Concepts from a Planning Perspective

et al. 2017

Smart grids (SGs), as an emerging grid modernization concept, is spreading across diverse research areas for revolutionizing power systems. SGs realize new key concepts with intelligent technologies, maximizing achieved objectives and addressing critical issues that are limited in conventional grids. The SG modernization is more noticeable at the distribution grid level. Thus, the transformation of the traditional distribution network (DN) into an intelligent one, is a vital dimension of SG research. Since future DNs are expected to be interconnected in nature and operation, hence traditional planning methods and tools may no longer be applicable. In this paper, the smart distribution network (SDN) concept under the SG paradigm, has presented and reviewed from the planning perspective. Also, developments in the SDN planning process have been surveyed on the basis of SG package (SGP). The package presents a SDN planning foundation via major SG-enabling technologies (SGTF), anticipated functionalities (SGAF), new consumption models (MDC) as potential SDN candidates, associated policies and pilot projects and multi-objective planning (MOP) as a real-world optimization problem. In addition, the need for an aggregated SDN planning model has also been highlighted. The paper discusses recent notable related works, implementation activities, various issues/challenges and potential future research directions; all aiming at SDN planning.
