The article presents a mathematical model designed for scheduling cooperation between Hybrid Power Generation System HPGS and an electricity system viewed from a multifaceted perspective. The multifaceted approach consists in taking into account energy, economic, and environmental criteria in the calculation process. The considered HPGS is constructed of a photovoltaic installation PV, wind turbines WT, and energy storage in the form of an electrolyzer El coupled with a fuel cell FC. The model consists of energy analysis and multi-variant analysis of the decision-making. Cooperation scheduling is performed in a long-term period taking into account the decrease in performance of HPGS components during the years of its operation. The impact of the performance decline in HPGS devices on the final result of scheduling the work of HPGS in the electricity system is the main issue considered in this article. This matter has not been analyzed yet. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis of the impact of a decrease in the efficiency of selected HPGS components (PV, FC, and El) on the final effect of the simulation is presented.

“…Maouedja et al [8] constructed a small hybrid system in Adrar, Algeria, and concluded that wind energy can compliment solar energy. Al Ghaithi et al [9] analyzed a hybrid energy system in Masirah Island in Oman. The simulation results showed that a hybrid system composed of PV, a WT, and an existing diesel power system is the most economically viable, and can significantly improve voltage profiles.…”

This paper discusses the optimization of hybrid power systems, which consist of solar cells, wind turbines, fuel cells, hydrogen electrolysis, chemical hydrogen generation, and batteries. Because hybrid power systems have multiple energy sources and utilize different types of storage, we first developed a general hybrid power model using the Matlab/SimPowerSystemTM, and then tuned model parameters based on the experimental results. This model was subsequently applied to predict the responses of four different hybrid power systems for three typical loads, without conducting individual experiments. Furthermore, cost and reliability indexes were defined to evaluate system performance and to derive optimal system layouts. Finally, the impacts of hydrogen costs on system optimization was discussed. In the future, the developed method could be applied to design customized hybrid power systems.

“…However, the paper took the simple index as the reliability constraint without systematically introducing the multi-energy comprehensive reliability evaluation method. Reference [19] took Masirah Island in Oman as an example to analyze the technical and economic viability of a hybrid energy system; different scenarios were established based on different configurations of equipment. On this basis, the impacts of different scenarios were considered in the hybrid system optimization.…”

A multi-energy microgrid has multiple terminal resources and multiple distributed components for energy production, conversion, and storage. By using this grid, an interconnected network with optimized multiple energy sources can be formed. This type of grid can minimize energy waste while laying the critical foundation for an energy Internet. The multi-energy microgrid must be formed properly to ensure multi-energy coupling and complement. However, critical technologies (e.g., reliability assessment) and configuration planning methods now need further research. In this study, a novel method for the reliability evaluation of a multi-energy supply is proposed, and an operation–planning double-layer optimization design method is investigated that considers reliability. On that basis, the effects of different configuration schemes on economy and reliability are quantitatively analyzed. First, the coupling relationship between multi-energy carriers in a typical multi-energy microgrid is analyzed; subsequently, the energy efficiency and economical models of the key equipment in the grid system are determined. Monte Carlo simulation and the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method are applied to evaluate the reliability with sorted indicators. A double-layer optimization model is built for a multi-energy microgrid with the optimal configuration. The impact of configuration on the reliability and economical performance of the microgrid system is quantitatively analyzed based on actual calculations. The results obtained here are relative to the capacity, configuration, operation, and energy supply reliability of the multi-energy microgrid, and may serve as the feasible guidelines for future integrated energy systems.
