“…For economic feasibility also hybrid power systems are desirable and on grid and off grid hybrid PV-wind power systems are installed in different countries across the world and this is mainly desirable in those countries having more islands [5], [15], [34], [35]. The mini grid system can accommodate different renewable energy sources alone or different renewable energy sources and operated with the main grid line [5], [37], [38].…”

Renewable energy sources; which are abundant in nature and climate friendly are the only preferable choice of the world to provide green energy. The limitation of most renewable energy sources specifically wind and solar PV is its intermittent nature which are depend on wind speed and solar irradiance respectively and this leads to power fluctuations. To compensate and protect sensitive loads from being affected by the power distribution side fluctuations and faults, dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is commonly used. This research work attempts to withstand and secure the effect of voltage fluctuation of grid connected hybrid PV-wind power system. To do so battery and super magnetic energy storage (SMES) based DVR is used as a compensating device in case of voltage sag condition. The compensation method used is a pre-sag compensation which locks the instantaneous real time three phase voltage magnitude and angle in normal condition at the point of common coupling (PCC) and stores independently so that during a disturbance it used for compensation. Symmetrical and asymmetrical voltage sags scenario are considered and compensation is carried out using Power System Computer Aided Design or Electro Magnetic Transient Design and Control (PSCAD/EMTDC) software.

“…Yimen et al [45] performed the techno-economic analysis of a solar, wind, biogas and pumped-hydro storage based system for Djoundé, a small village in northern Cameroon. A dedicated system design, implementation and validation was carried out for a microgrid composed of solar, wind, biomass and vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) storage at India Institute of Engineering Science and Technology campus [46]. Based on a hybrid standalone system in Bihar, India, Mazzola et al [47] investigated the potential of wood biomass for rural electrification considering a down-draft gasifier coupled with an internal combustion engine (ICE) and a boiler coupled with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system.…”

“…The positive values of economic metrics such as the present worth (PW), annual worth (AW), the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), the return on investment (ROI) and payback periods (PBs) attest to the viability of the projects and help gauge the profitability of the investments especially in the absence of capital incentives from the Government [95]. This position has been reiterated by other studies, a discounted payback period of 6 years was computed for the optimal RHMG with similar system composition [44], while the IRR of 23% and a simple payback period between 4 and 5 years were estimated for another optimal RHMG with similar system composition [46].…”

Decentralized Renewable Hybrid Mini-Grids for Rural Communities: Culmination of the IREP Framework and Scale up to Urban Communities

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Integrated Rural Energy Planning (IREP) framework offers a unified road map for locating, planning and operating decentralized renewable hybrid off-grid energy systems for localized (rural) applications in low-income countries. This paper presents the culmination of the IREP framework and aims to illustrate the final step of the IREP framework for two communities in Nigeria. It is focused on two aspects. Firstly, the techno-economic modeling (investment and operation optimization) of a hybrid mini-grid system using HOMER Pro, a techno-economic evaluation tool; and evaluating the benefits of demand side management (DSM) based on energy efficiency on the overall system economics using a scenario-based approach. Secondly, the conceptualization of a sustainable business model using the business model canvas scheme to deliver measurable socio-economic impacts in these communities. The results provide valuable insights into rural electrification via renewable hybrid mini-grids powered primarily with solar photovoltaic technology. Transcending mere electricity access, electricity is provided for productive uses (considering disaggregated end-uses) by harnessing other dispatchable renewable energy resources such as waste biomass. Given high share of rural population in developing countries, these insights are applicable in these regions and further the realization of the United Nations’ goal of sustainable energy (SDG7) and sustainable cities and communities (SDG11).

Recent Approach Based Social Spider Optimizer for Optimal Sizing of Hybrid PV/Wind/Battery/Diesel Integrated Microgrid in Aljouf Region

2020

This paper develops a recent methodology based on social spider optimizer (SSO) to determine the optimal sizing of a hybrid renewable energy sources (RESs) integrated microgrid (MG). It comprises photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT), battery, diesel generator (DG), and inverter. The cost of energy (COE) is proposed as fitness function. The objective of the proposed SSO is to determine three design variables which are number of PV panels, number of WT, and number of battery autonomy days such that COE is minimized. Additionally, an energy management strategy is presented. Loss of power supply probability (LPSP) is considered to confirm the reliability of operation. The selection of SSO is due to its simplicity in construction and requiring less controlling parameters. The proposed MG is installed in a remote area at Aljouf region in the northern of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Annual data of irradiance, wind speed, and temperature are recorded. The SSO results are compared to Harris Hawks optimizer (HHO), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO), Antlion Optimizer (ALO), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The results obtained show that the proposed approach provides the best optimal configuration of hybrid RESs compared to HHO, GWO, MVO, ALO and WOA with COE of 0.1349 $/kWh and LPSP of 0.01714. Moreover, sensitivity analysis with sizing different topologies of MG including PV/Battery/DG, WT/Battery/DG, and PV/WT/ Battery/DG is presented. The best COEs are obtained via SSO achieving 0.2180 $/kWh for the first topology and 0.2161$/kWh for the second architecture. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is also presented to investigate the effect of design variables on COE. The experimental results confirm the superiority of the proposed approach in designing reliable and costless microgrid. INDEX TERMS Optimal sizing of hybrid RESs, microgrid, social spider optimization.
