“…Reference [26] presented a voltage and frequency control strategy for active island microgrids design. There are few literatures available on the study of economic and technical feasibility of microgrids and hybrid systems in [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. However, most of these were designed for standalone systems of remote areas, where it is either difficult or impossible to extend the grid service.…”

The objective of this paper is to model a hybrid power system for buildings, which is technically feasible and economically optimal. With a view to promote renewable energy sources, photovoltaics and wind turbines are integrated with the grid connected building. The system is modeled and the optimal system configuration is estimated with the help of hybrid optimization model for electric renewables (HOMER). The logic is illustrated with a case study based on the practical data of a building located in southern India. This building is associated with 3.4 MWh/day priority load (peak load as 422 kW), as well as 3.3 MWh/day deferrable load (peak load as 500 kW). Sensitivity analysis is performed to deal with uncertainties such as the increase in electricity consumption and grid tariff, environmental changes, etc. From the simulation result, it is observed that the designed system is cost effective and environment friendly, which leads to 6.18 % annual cost savings and reduces CO 2 emissions by 38.3 %. Sensitivity results indicate that the system is optimal and adaptable in a certain range of unanticipated variances with respect to best estimated value. Finally, an energy management strategy is developed for the optimal system to ensure reliable power during contingency and disturbances. The green and hybrid power system designed can be adaptable to any critical and large consumers of urban buildings.

“…However the proposed system in this paper is designed with solar and wind as renewable energy source considering grid known as on-grid hybrid energy model. When there is shortage of power the load or consumer will take electricity from the grid, if excess power is produced by the renewable energy system it is given to the grid [8]. Thus this model is a new proposal in Patenga coastal area because it incorporates power system modeling considering on-grid supply capability.…”

This paper proposes an optimal power system model for coastal area of Bangladesh where sufficient renewable energy source is available for hybrid power generation. The simulation and analysis is performed on a highly recognized renewable energy research tool called 'HOMER' considering the electrical demand of a coastal area, Patenga. Generation of electricity from different types of fuel affects on environment creating tons of greenhouse gases and thereby causing global warming. In this situation, a power system model with shortest possible effect on environment is of great interest now a days. Remarkable outline of this paper is that the proposed model enable sharing of power between grid and power generated from renewable sources which is known as ongrid hybrid renewable energy model and thereby reducing the generation cost of energy. Another significance of the research is to create a new era in the green energy research for coastal area of Bangladesh.

Hybrid energy systems with renewable generation are built in many remote areas where the renewable resources are abundant and the environment is clean. We present a case study of the Catalina Island in California for which a system with photovoltaic (PV) arrays, wind turbines, and battery storage is designed based on empirical weather and load data. To determine the system size, we formulate an optimization problem that minimizes the total construction and operation cost subject to maximum tolerable risk. Simulations using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) is used to determine the feasible set of the optimization problem.
