“…There have been many significant works done by researchers around the world on the Hybrid power system with renewable energy, which are either off-grid [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] or grid-connected [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. In [7], Groppi et al focused on the hybrid storage (battery plus hydrogen) system while planning a smart energy system to ensure economic and environmental benefits. However, they did not explain the technical feasibility of their proposed system.…”

Analysis of Techno-Economic-Environmental Suitability of an Isolated Microgrid System Located in a Remote Island of Bangladesh

et al. 2020

Following a rise in population, load demand is increasing even in the remote areas and islands of Bangladesh. Being an island that is also far from the mainland of Bangladesh, St. Martin’s is in need of electricity. As it has ample renewable energy resources, a renewable energy-based microgrid system seems to be the ultimate solution, considering the ever-increasing price of diesel fuel. This study proposes a microgrid system and tests its technical and economic feasibility in that area. All possible configurations have been simulated to try and find the optimal system for the island, which would be eco-friendly and economical with and without considering renewable energy options. The existing power supply configuration has also been compared to the best system after analyzing and investigating all technical and economic feasibility. Sensitivity and risk analysis between different cases provide added value to this study. The results show that the current diesel-based system is not viable for the island’s people, but rather a heavy burden to them due to the high cost of per unit electricity and the net present cost. In contrast, a PV /Wind/Diesel/Battery hybrid microgrid appeared to be the most feasible system. The proposed system is found to be around 1.5 times and 28% inexpensive considering the net present cost and cost of energy, respectively, with a high (56%) share of renewable energy which reduces 23% carbon dioxide.

“…However, the results also show that the BESS could not always perform the desired frequency regulation, which would result in lost revenue in ancillary market services. On the other side, in [21] the authors investigate the effects integration of RES (small solar or wind power plant), hydrogen, and BESS have on security of supply and system stability in small islands. Case study is performed on an Italian small island of Favignana.…”

“…Similar to paper [18], one of the cases in this paper (Section 2.1) presents an installation of a BESS near to an existing power plant that could be replaced with a PV power plant in the future. The paper approach in [21] is similar to our cases in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 with the addition that we contribute with: (i) Section 2.2 targets to ensure N-1 security criterion by installing a BESS, and (ii) Section 2.3 aims at increasing power evacuation from the observed geographical area during the high production of power plans and an outage of a power line. Papers [22,23] deal with a usage of the end-user applications of BESS, very similar as in Section 2.4.…”

Defining and Evaluating Use Cases for Battery Energy Storage Investments: Case Study in Croatia

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) and renewable energy sources are complementary technologies from the power system viewpoint, where renewable energy sources behave as flexibility sinks and create business opportunities for BESS as flexibility sources. Various stakeholders can use BESS to balance, stabilize and flatten demand/generation patterns. These applications depend on the stakeholder role, flexibility service needed from the battery, market opportunities and obstacles, as well as regulatory aspects encouraging or hindering integration of storage technologies. While developed countries are quickly removing barriers and increasing the integration share of BESS, this is seldom the case in developing countries. The paper identifies multiple case opportunities for different power system stakeholders in Croatia, models potential BESS applications using real-world case studies, analyzes feasibility of these investments, and discusses financial returns and barriers to overcome.

Green Hybrid Energy for Office Building

et al. 2019

This contribution presents a comparative study of operating a green energy hybrid system to sustain the power production mix of an office building. For this purpose, two scenarios of a hydrogen storage system (S1) and battery energy storage (S2) to sustain solar and wind energy inlets were compared from a technical, environmental and financial perspectives. S1 - hydrogen technology system was found to be more performing than S2 - battery technology in terms of energy efficiency, as well as CO2 emissions and initial costs.
