“…In the scientific literature, a combined generation to load ratio model is proposed to evaluate the local generation adequacy for an islanded microgrid with limited stochastic resources in [10]. In reference [11], a simulation methodology is presented for reliability and cost assessment of renewable energy sources in an independent microgrid system. An innovative generalized systematic approach and related analytical formulation are presented in [12] to evaluate distribution system reliability in smart grids, where islanded operation of microgrids helps improve local and overall reliability.…”

Abstract:The smart grid concept has emerged as a result of the requirement for renewable energy resources and application of new techniques. It is proposed as a practical future form of power distribution system. Evaluating the reliability of smart grids is of great importance and significance. Focusing on the perspective of the consumers, this paper proposes a layered fault tree model to distinguish and separate two different smart grid power supply modes. Revised importance measures for the components in the fault tree are presented considering load priority, aiming to find the weak parts of the system and to improve the design and using. A corresponding hierarchical Monte Carlo simulation procedure for reliability evaluation is proposed based on the layered fault tree model. The method proposed in this paper is tested on a case of reliability assessment for the Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) system. The proposed technique can be applicable to other forms of smart grids.

“…• When mismatch between load demand and supply is large, batteries and diesel generator are used as backup, 170,175,[185][186][187][188][189][190] Wind generator has a capacity factor of 25%-35%, and fuel cell has a capacity factor of 90%-95%. So, the overall capacity factor of the system enhances by transforming the both systems into a single hybrid system.…”

The world will need greatly increased energy supply in coming years because of the rapidly increasing world population and depleting natural resources. For a long time, conventional energy sources have been utilized for power generation, but now it is of great concern that the rapid depletion of conventional sources added with their economic and environmental concerns are incompatible to address issues like growing electricity demand and environmental damages. Utilization of the alternative energy sources is compulsory to minimize the energy crisis around the world. Based on the alternative energy sources, a number of power generation systems have been designed to contribute for the management of optimized energy supply systems. The unpredictable nature of alternative energy sources is their common drawback, and they do not harness usable power for some considerable duration of time over the year. Therefore, trends are in progress to integrate two or more than two of these alternative energy systems to meet the required electricity supply in power generation operations. These systems are designated as hybrid systems and can be grid connected or off-grid depending upon their purpose and mode of fabrication. Off grid hybrid systems are popular for the electrification of the isolated and far-flung areas, where the grid supply is absent. This study mainly focuses on main 10 off grid, bi-source hybrid systems for power generation highlighting their role in energy stability. Systems' hybridization, power generation, energy flow schemes, operation schemes, and storage and backup needs have been addressed thoroughly in this study to provide a handy reference to stake holders for further work in this regime.
