Optimal design of hybrid energy system with PV/wind turbine/storage: A case study

Abstract

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.

Decentralized Economic Dispatch Scheme With Online Power Reserve for Microgrids

“…They can, however, be converted to dispatchable DGs by adding energy storage to them. Regardless of that, their operating natures are different, which mean their operational costs should be derived differently, and should include recurring maintenance costs and emission incentives (negative costs), as proposed in [25]- [27]. Another factor that needs consideration is the storage replacement cost if storage is used (or fuel cost if fuel cell is used as a green source) [28].…”

Integration of IEC 61850 into a Distributed Energy Resources system in a smart green building

“…In paper [11], we introduce a battery model for an islanded microgrid. In this paper, we apply the similar model with minor improvement.…”

Optimal coordinate operation control for wind–photovoltaic–battery storage power-generation units

“…Existing studies related to hybrid wind-photovoltaic-battery power generation are mainly focused on modeling [5,6], capacity allocation [7,8], optimal design [9][10][11], economic evaluation [12], reliability evaluation [13], and optimal operation aspects [14,15]. Coordinate operation controls for wind-photovoltaic-battery power generation mainly adopt intelligent algorithms to solve operation optimization models on the basis of the output complementary characteristics of wind turbines and PV arrays.…”
