Remote areas in UAE are still fully powered by diesel generators. The rapid rise in the prices of petroleum products and environmental concerns have led to demand for hybrid renewable energy generators. Advances in renewable energy technologies impart further impetus to techno-economic power production. Protecting the landscape and demography of the desert by optimizing the power supply cost via an efficient hybrid power system is the key issue.Simulation results on the cross utilization of a photovoltaic/wind/battery/fuel-cell hybrid-energy source to power the off-grid living space are presented. Simultaneous exploitation of different renewable energy sources to power off-grid applications together with battery and hydrogen energy storage options is demonstrated. HOMER software from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is used to perform detailed techno-economic analyses. It simulates all possible system configurations that fulfil the suggested load for the selected sites under given conditions of renewable resources.

“…Over 1 billion people in the world lack access to electricity [1,2]. In low-income and middleincome countries (LMIC's), this global epidemic is especially poignant in health care delivery, or lack thereof [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. As an integral part of society, electricity serves as a vital component of health care policies [14,16,17].…”

Health care during electricity failure: The hidden costs

et al. 2020

Background Surgery risks increase when electricity is accessible but unreliable. During unreliable electricity events and without data on increased risk to patients, medical professionals base their decisions on anecdotal experience. Decisions should be made based on a cost-benefit analysis, but no methodology exists to quantify these risks, the associated hidden costs, nor risk charts to compare alternatives. Methods Two methodologies were created to quantify these hidden costs. In the first methodology through research literature and/or measurements, the authors obtained and analyzed a year’s worth of hour-by-hour energy failures for four energy healthcare system (EHS) types in four regions (SolarPV in Iraq, Hydroelectric in Ghana, SolarPV+Wind in Bangladesh, and Grid+Diesel in Uganda). In the second methodology, additional patient risks were calculated according to time and duration of electricity failure and medical procedure impact type. Combining these methodologies, the cost from the Value of Statistical Lives lost divided by Energy shortage ($/kWh) is calculated for EHS type and region specifically. The authors define hidden costs due to electricity failure as VSL/E ($/kWh) and compare this to traditional electricity costs (always defined in $/kWh units), including Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE also in $/kWh). This is quantified into a fundamentally new energy healthcare system risk chart (EHS-Risk Chart) based on severity of event (probability of deaths) and likelihood of event (probability of electricity failure). Results VSL/E costs were found to be 10 to 10,000 times traditional electricity costs (electric utility or LCOE based). The single power source EHS types have higher risks than hybridized EHS types (especially as power loads increase over time), but all EHS types have additional risks to patients due to electricity failure (between 3 to 105 deaths per 1,000 patients). Conclusions These electricity failure risks and hidden healthcare costs can now be calculated and charted to make medical decisions based on a risk chart instead of anecdotal experience. This risk chart connects public health and electricity failure using this adaptable, scalable, and verifiable model.

“…The hybrid power generation system (HPGS) optimal (or possible) configuration depends on three main factors: energy resource (conventional and/or renewable), demanded load, and the cost (operating expenditure and capital expenditure) [8]. The main problem which face power generation using a hybrid power system is the variation in renewable resources (wind speed and solar radiation) and the variation in load demand.…”

An analysis of hybrid power generation systems for a residential load

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents the results of an energetic and economical analysis of a hybrid power generation system (HPGS) which utilises photovoltaic modules, wind turbines, fuel cells and an electrolyzer with hydrogen tank working as the energy storage. The analysis was carried out for three different residential loads, local solar radiation and local wind speed, based on the real measurement values. The analysis shows the optimal solution and the limits of the investment costs required for the system construction. The presented results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which could be assumed as a very useful tool in the design and analysis of a hybrid power generation system.
