Abstract:This research investigates the optimal management of electric and heat energies in a hybrid energy system (HES). In the studied HES, a pair of photovoltaic and battery storage devices is used to supply the electricity demand, and a boiler system to supply the heat demand directly. In addition, a modified cycle power plant acted as a combined heat and power (CHP) unit to increase the generation capacity and supply reliability. The HES is also able to connect to the electric grid to exchange power according to r… Show more
