Scrutiny of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for Control, Power Management, Optimization and Sizing: Challenges and Future Possibilities

Abstract

To fulfill fast-growing energy needs, all energy sources should be utilized. Renewable energy is infinite and clean. However, its main disadvantage is that renewable energy sources are intermittent. A Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) is built by integrating several distinct energy sources to deal with this problem. In regards to energy economy, economics, dependability, and flexibility, these hybrid systems can surpass the limits of individual energy producing technologies. The power capacity of HRESs increased from 700 GW to 3100 GW globally over the period 2000–2021. This study aimed to offer and analyze a comprehensive literature review of recently published works by several researchers in the area of HRESs. The HRES contains different Hybrid Energy Systems (HESs), which are categorized into three parts, namely, PV_Other, Wind_Other and PV_Wind_Other. These systems, based on different optimization techniques/software with techno-economic objective functions and constraints, are reviewed in this paper. The optimal sizing, control, and power management strategies of the HRES are elaborately discussed to harness its potential. It has been determined that Metaheuristic (MH) methods and HOMER software are mostly employed in the fields of HRES sizing, control, power management, and optimization. The review provides a critical analysis of the shortcomings of the existing HRES systems, while choosing optimization parameters, and control and power management schemes. Moreover, the study encapsulates the various challenges/barriers in adopting HRESs. Finally, this review highlights possible future opportunities for PV, Wind, and other HESs in the area of control, power management, optimization, and optimal sizing.

A novel digital control scheme for power management in a hybrid energy-source environment pertaining to electric vehicle applications

“…Hence, it is possible to place five solar panels on the roof, and they are connected in series. Significant problems in the solar PV system include low conversion efficiency and electrical energy that varies due to insolation changes (Rathod and Subramanian, 2022). Single solar panel ratings are P max = 555 W, I mp = 13.33 A, V mp = 41.64 V, and V oc = 50.34 V (ENF, 2022).…”

The Economic Sustainability of Variable Renewable Energy Considering the Negotiation of Different Support Schemes

“…When global energy policies started considering the environmental impacts of the traditional fossil fuel power plants, introducing the dioxide carbon cost and the renewable energy certificates, they started a policy for incentivizing investment in RES [16][17][18][19]. Financing institutions need guarantees of future returns to finance new vRES projects [20][21][22]. Hence, if investors have long-term forward agreements to sell their energy, they guarantee a stable revenue [23].…”
