“…In [25], the authors carried out a cost analysis of the PV-El-FC system using the HOMER tool. The study was done by analyzing the impact of the dimensions of individual elements of the system, e.g., electrolyzer and PV installation, on the LCOE (levelized cost of electricity) cost index.…”

Different hydrogen production scenarios need to be compared in regard to multiple, and often distinct aspects. It is well known that hydrogen production technologies based on environmentally-friendly renewable energy sources have higher values of the economic indicators than methods based on fossil fuels. Therefore, how should this decision criterion (environmental) prevail over the other types of decision criteria (technical and economic) to make a scenario where hydrogen production only uses renewable energy sources the most attractive option for a decision-maker? This article presents the results of a multi-variant comparative analysis of scenarios to annually produce one million tons of pure hydrogen (99.999%) via electrolysis in Poland. The compared variants were found to differ in terms of electricity sources feeding the electrolyzers. The research demonstrated that the scenario where hydrogen production uses energy from photovoltaics only becomes the best option for the environmental criterion weighting value at 61%. Taking the aging effect of photovoltaic installation (PV) panels and electrolyzers after 10 years of operation into account, the limit value of the environmental criterion rises to 63%. The carried out analyses may serve as the basis for the creation of systems supporting the development of clean and green hydrogen production technologies.

“…In case of excess of power, batteries can store energy and distribute energy in the event of an oversupply of energy demand. The battery or wind driven system can be integrated with the hybrid system [7], [8]. The hybrid system removes the fluctuation in supply, deficient in production by primary sources.…”

From Smart Grids to Super Smart Grids: A Roadmap for Strategic Demand Management for Next Generation SAARC and European Power Infrastructure

Due to an increasing of demands of electricity in a world on regular basis, different continents will initiate a step towards transforming their smart grids infrastructure into super smart grids (SSGs), in which various countries in a continent will take a step towards an interconnection of their power system networks with one another to manage their futuristic demands conditions. The concept of SSGs system is predicated due to extensive use of modern technology, digital communication, machine learning and modern information techniques for the present power generating system to be more accurate and feature on balancing demand and supply. The SSGs uses renewable energy resources to support power system of multiple countries by reducing the greenhouse gases emissions. The main purpose of transforming smart grids into SSGs is to balance the demands and supply between multiple countries, if each country is not able to manage their own demands profiles. The environmental conditions, lack of energy management, intermittent nature of renewable energy resources and line losses are the major hurdles to provide regular supply. This research work focused about the hurdles in the form of technical challenges that will be arises in case of developing a futuristic SSGs for European and SAARC continents, and thus provide a valuable solution for it along with discussion about the future research directions. Moreover, although SSGs ideas have received positive reviews from many technical experts, but there development in future is still a challenging research issue due to lack of simulation based models of SSGs in the current literature. To deal with this issue, finally a fuzzy logic using hybrid cluster model of SSGs consisting of two clusters and a renewable wind energy system is successfully presented in this research paper. This model can be utilized in prospective for transforming any smart grids power infrastructure based on one country power network to futuristic SSGs power infrastructure based on multiple countries power networks for SAARC and European continents. The simulations of clusters and wind system are performed by the MATLAB. The suggested model of SSGs consisting of eighteen bus networks provides regular supply of energy between two countries interconnecting in the form of two clusters, whenever one or both countries lies in the region of SAARC and European continents faced some kind of fault.INDEX TERMS Super smart grid, power system, renewable energy resources, greenhouse gases, fuzzy logic, hybrid system, MATLAB.The associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Jose Saldana .

“…Nature-inspired optimization algorithms have become popular for solving different control and stability issues caused by increased renewable use [6]. These include frequency stability [7,8], cost optimization [9], energy management [10] and storage optimization [11,12]. Following this trend, reference [13] presents an adaptive artificial neural network-based modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the real-time congestion control in a power system.…”

Electricity demand is sharply increasing with the growing population of human beings. Due to financial, social, and political barriers, there are lots of difficulties when building new thermal power plants and transmission lines. To solve this problem, renewable energy sources and flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) can operate together in a power network. Renewable energy sources can provide additional power to the grid, whereas FACTS devices can increase the thermal limit of existing transmission lines. It is always desirable for an electrical network to operate under stable and secure conditions. The system runs at risk if any abnormality occurs in the generation, transmission, or distribution sections. This paper outlines a strategy for reducing system risks via the optimal operation of wind farms and FACTS devices. Here, a thyristor-controlled series compensator (TCSC) and a unified power flow controller (UPFC) have both been considered for differing the thermal limit of transmission lines. The impact of the wind farm, as well as the combined effect of the wind farm and FACTS devices on system economy, were investigated in this work. Both regulated and deregulated environments have been chosen to verify the proposed approach. Value at risk (VaR) and cumulative value at risk (CVaR) calculations were used to evaluate the system risk. The work was performed on modified IEEE 14 bus and modified IEEE 30-bus systems. A comparative study was carried out using different optimization techniques, i.e., Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimizer Algorithm (AGTO), Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA), and Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) to check the effect of renewable integration in the regulated and deregulated power systems in terms of system risk and operating cost.
