“…The key characteristics of IESs for making a selection of renewable energy technologies are summarized in Table 2 [2]. Different designs of IESs have been comprehensively investigated and several optimization methods including genetic algorithms [18] and linear programming [29] utilized to arrive at the most reliable and economical models of IESs. Optimization of IESs is carried out by considering the structural parameters, design parameters, and operation parameters.…”

An integrated energy system is a combination of two or more energy conversion systems. A synergistic benefit of such systems is the output that is greater than the sum of the individuals. A well-designed integrated energy system can substantially reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and boost system reliability. However, for efficient integrated energy systems, it is important to have a good understanding of the system operators responsible for energy flow and for balancing the demand and supply of energy. This chapter discusses the important aspects of the integrated energy systems running on renewable and or conventional resources. Basic knowledge and analysis of integrated energy systems are presented to decide on their merits and demerits. The focused areas include the deployment of electricity generation technologies, challenges associated with local and global optimization of integrated energy systems, and the implications of specified levels of production of renewable energy. It is concluded that a well-designed integrated energy system can substantially reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and boost system reliability. For high load applications, wind-diesel integrated systems are more attractive than wind-PV integration.

“…Of the 19 software tools evaluated in a study, it was found to be the most widely used tool for hybrid renewable energy systems (Sinha and Chandel, 2014). It has been used in many studies ranging from techno-economic analysis in remote areas (Chauhan and Saini, 2016a;Corrand et al, 2013;Amutha and Rajini, 2015;Rahman et al, 2016;El Khashab and Al Ghamedi, 2015), hybrids with different storage systems (Chua et al, 2015;Ramli et al, 2015b;Silva et al, 2013), economic evaluation of biomass gasification plant (Montuori et al, 2014), to RE viability analysis for universities and schools (Glaisa et al, 2014;Park and Kwon, 2016;Sahoo et al, 2015;Singh et al, 2015), and also along with other software and simulators (Marneni et al, 2015). A study has identified that HOMER has been used in developing countries more than other regions and has been used for loads less than a kW to 2,213,000 kW (Bahramara et al, 2016).…”

An increasingly distributed energy future means localized generation at the distribution level. This means higher efficiency and helps decarbonize our energy system. The challenge for utilities is to adapt to emerging technologies and evolve but connecting renewable energy into existing systems is not without costs. With optimization tools like HOMER, the task of determining the most cost-effective system becomes simpler and faster. This paper aims to determine the optimal renewable energy source for a utility coverage area. Negros Oriental in the Philippines has abundant solar radiation most times of the year. Based on National Renewable Energy Laboratory data, it has considerable potential for wind energy. The area also has the potential for small hydro. The study obtains the costs and the possible configurations for the distribution system. It uses actual load profiles recorded by the utility. The study has also looked at publications that used HOMER as a tool, ascertaining its influence in the simulation of microgrids. The optimal system combination for the area is Grid and 40 Vestas 82 Wind Turbines. The effect of reduced wind speeds and a higher power price is noted. While many similar studies stop at obtaining the most cost-effective system, this paper has a section on post-HOMER discussion that inspects the implications of the results.

“…Solar and wind energy in Saudi Arabia's are the largest source of renewable energy due to the strategic geographic location in the so-called sunbelt and clear skies over the year [7]. The average sunlight power is 2,200 kWh/m 2 [8], and therefore, it is worth to generate power from the sun in different technology.…”

This paper presents a study of optimizing hybrid power system for a remote traveler's mosque on the highway of the western coastal region at Alrais town, Saudi Arabia. Typical energy consumption profiles were estimated based on a medium-sized mosque over the four seasons as per energy requirements. The HOMER Pro software is used as a tool to size and optimize the optimal system. The optimal finding shows that hybrid solar with wind turbine achieved the lowest net present cost (NPC) and cost of energy (COE) due to the high potential of solar radiation and wind speed. The proposed configuration system can contribute in a wide renewable energy application in Saudi Arabia especially in remote region. A comprehensive analytical, descriptive, and modeling of the configurations also presented here.
