“…When the price of electricity in the grid increases further, it is 384 economical to discharge the battery bank in addition to directing excess electricity generated ( Designing electric hubs integrated to the grid is challenging due to a number of reasons as discussed before. A 395 heuristic algorithm has been amply used in the literature [19], [32]- [34], [39], [79]- [81] and shown to be much 396 efficient when optimizing these systems when compared to enumerative methods [82] which are used in existing 397 software such as Homer [83]. A detailed comparison of these methods can be found in recent reviews on hybrid 398 energy system designing [80], [84].…”

9A paradigm change in energy system design tools, energy market, and energy policy is required to attain the target 10 levels in renewable energy integration and in minimizing pollutant emissions in power generation. Integrating non-11 dispatchable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy is vital in this context. Distributed generation 12 has been identified as a promising method to integrate Solar PV (SPV) and wind energy into grid in recent literature. 13Distributed generation using grid-tied electrical hubs, which consist of Internal Combustion Generator (ICG), non-14 dispatchable energy sources (i.e., wind turbines and SPV panels) and energy storage for providing the electricity 15 demand in Sri Lanka is considered in this study. A novel dispatch strategy is introduced to address the limitations in 16 the existing methods in optimizing grid-integrated electrical hubs considering real time pricing of the electricity grid 17 and curtailments in grid integration. Multi-objective optimization is conducted for the system design considering 18 grid integration level and Levelized Energy Cost (LEC) as objective functions to evaluate the potential of electrical 19 hubs to integrate SPV and wind energy. The sensitivity of grid curtailments, energy market, price of wind turbines 20 and SPV panels on Pareto front is evaluated subsequently. Results from the Pareto analysis demonstrate the potential 21 of electrical hubs to cover more than 60% of the annual electricity demand from SPV and wind energy considering 22 stringent grid curtailments. Such a share from SPV and wind energy is quite significant when compared to direct 23 grid integration of non-dispatchable renewable energy technologies. 24

People in the Middle East are facing the problem of freshwater shortages. This problem is more intense for a remote region, which has no access to the power grid. The use of seawater desalination technology integrated with the generated energy unit by renewable energy sources could help overcome this problem. In this study, we refer a seawater reverse osmosis desalination (SWROD) plant with a capacity of 1.5 m 3 /h used on Larak Island, Iran. Moreover, for producing fresh water and meet the load demand of the SWROD plant, three different stand-alone hybrid renewable energy systems (SAHRES), namely wind turbine (WT)/photovoltaic (PV)/battery bank storage (BBS), PV/BBS, and WT/BBS are modeled and investigated. The optimization problem was coded in MATLAB software. Furthermore, the optimized results were obtained by the division algorithm (DA). The DA has been developed to solve the sizing problem of three SAHRES configurations by considering the object function's constraints. These results show that this improved algorithm has been simpler, more precise, faster, and more flexible than a genetic algorithm (GA) in solving problems. Moreover, the minimum total life cycle cost (TLCC = 243 763$), with minimum loss of power supply probability (LPSP = 0%) and maximum reliability, was related to the WT/PV/BBS configuration. WT/PV/BBS is also the best configuration to use less battery as a backup unit (69 units). The batteries in this configuration have a longer life cycle (maximum average of annual battery charge level) than two other configurations (93.86%). Moreover, the optimized results have shown that utilizing the configuration of WT/PV/BBS could lead to attaining a cost-effective and green (without environmental pollution) SAHRES, with high reliability for remote areas, with appropriate potential of wind and solar irradiance.

Integrated renewable energy system (IRES) is integration of different energy sources to provide uninterrupted and viable solution for electrification especially for areas not connected to main grid due to difficult terrain and economic reasons. IRES has many advantages like non-depleting, non-polluting nature, better load matching and better renewable energy utilization. In the present study, mathematical modelling, size optimization and techno-economic analysis of standalone IRES have been carried out. Hybrid system is modelled to have maximum contribution from wind and solar energy with minimum net present cost (NPC) of system to meet electric load demand of CRC building, IIT Madras, India (13.01°N and 80.24°E). The results show that most feasible system configuration consists of 12 kW Photovoltaics, 3 kW wind turbine and 15 kW biogas generator with NPC and cost of energy equal to $ 117,098 and $ 0.09/kWh respectively. The IRES generates 71,826 kWh of energy to meet AC load of 64,396 kWh per year. The capacity factor and percentage contribution of PV, wind turbine and biogas generator are 17.8%, 6.57%, 39.1% and 26%, 2.4%, 71.6% respectively. The paper also presents sensitivity analysis of hybrid system with variation in capital cost of different components.
