Renewable energy RE and hybrid energy system HES are expanding and the current design method is a simulation based optimization and meta-heuristic optimization methods. HES are medium scale application in remote areas and stand-alone, but they are needed for large scale integration to grid. HES are non-linear, non-convex and composed of mixed variables that cannot be solved using traditional optimization methods. In the alternative, two approaches are used for optional HES design.
Simulation based optimization and mete-heuristics optimization methods are limited in view of time consuming, rework, and error proneness analyzed by Arabali et al. From the onset, design of the hybrid power generation system HPGS begins with feasibility studies, analyze the potential and effectiveness using computer simulation as observed by Soysal and Soysal [ 41 ]. A systematic optimization methodology is to derive formulae hybrid RE system HRES Optimization by integration of demand response, day-ahead and real-time weather forecasting, and uploading model using a receding horizon optimization strategy is another approach.
The demand-response and weather forecast methods are used to optimize the HRES in order to have minimize costs and maximize performance. Furthermore, the state of the arts advanced generators; power electronic logic controller, grid requirements and control are optimized to improve wind power plant characteristics for efficient power delivery and integration according to Khan and Iqbal [ 25 ]. Consequently, the power electronic logic controllers, crossbreed SPV, hybrid ESS, and hybrid RER technology are therefore applicable to a solar photovoltaic power system for improved power reliability.
However, the approaches here consider optimization in terms of power supply reliability, but not only of the costs. Therefore, operating HREPS in the long run is economically preferable as costs are reduced no replacement reinvestment costs, fueling costs, maintenance costs, loss of power supply probability costs, and unquantifiable environmental degradation costs as economic parameters that indicate running diesel generator alone for power supply is bears exorbitant cost variables than operating hybrid REPS energy system.
Levelized energy cost LEC or LCOE is the unit-cost of electricity during the life period of power supply system in net present value NPV terms, often taken as alternative electricity average price to break even over generating system lifetime.
However, LCOE is a general critical decision to proceed with a project development or not. LCOE is mathematically expressed as the life-cycle cost divided by lifetime energy produced interpreted as to break even.
Finally, localized cost of energy LCOE is an index use to cost average price of electricity produced by the HRES over its life initial investment, development, capital, operation and maintenance, and fuel costs as variables. Hence, effective ways to cut energy cost are: Cut down on development cost, capital cost, operation and maintenance cost.
Energy production or increase life span of generation infrastructure. A model of wind generator life was improved to last between 20 and 25 years in Denmark, so this applies to other RE infrastructure as observed these authors [ 19 ]. However, informed decisions demand trade off in projects selection using pressing priority or objective functions to maximize. Cut in operation costs includes fossil fuel, and then increase the price and global greenhouse gas emission concern has motivated hybrid renewable energy system standalone applications.
Modeling, simulation and multi objective optimization decision tools supporting the leveraged cost of electricity LCOE , life cycle cost LCC , greenhouse gas GHG emission objective functions use to evaluate power supply reliability, optimization and market price sensitivity.
Consequently, it was concluded that diesel generator supply alone is not feasible as fossil fuel price increases rapidly as reported by Ekren and Ekren [ 21 ]. Solar, wind and other renewable integration with energy storage as hybrid system has economic returns of LCOE of providing adequate power, environmental friendliness and reliability for all load conditions as supported by Nema et al.
The short-run considers costs-effectiveness on incremental increases, the medium-run focus on non-incremental change implications in solar capacity, whereas, the long-run dwell on carbon targets of the twenty-first century. Hence, economics depends on grid integration costs, low-carbon technologies and technological advances potential [ 27 ]. The common cost-effective criteria in photovoltaic phenomena rely on policy jurisdiction, frame work such as incentives like fit-in-tariff FIT , tax credits, carbon reduction certificates variables motivates investors.
Economically, return on investment ROI is always a prominent business yard stick and motivator for an investor. Conversely, feasibility study on solar PV indicated that it has long term high yield rate of return ROR , see Table 2 give details as reported [ 28 ]. The two levels AC and DC bus by extension are fundamentally two configurations, namely, the series and the parallel bus arrangements as shown in Figure 3 for the series connection, Figure 4 and Figure 5 for parallel bus as reported by Zhou and Sun [ 29 ].
These authors have illustrated the ideology of hybrid methodology can be synchronized to serve the electric load better, meaning mixing energy to improve the power of equivalent RE converter infrastructure to have reliability in power supply delivery.
However, hybrid RE can be also be designed to supply single phase system for smaller single phase load demand and its output voltage wave is single implied.
Hybrid RE three phase output voltage waveforms [ 30 ]. Hybridizing is a common strategy for improving the sizing of renewable resource RER energy resources; it is also known as crossbreeding in the SPV. The optimum scale of renewable energy resource to harvest energy reliably depends on the optimal design of conversion model. Energy converters are RER and come with assorted characteristics, sizes, and brands guide in the design and the implementation of projects. The RER characteristics of solar photovoltaic and micro hydro are the main focal area to be considered for discussion and analysis in this study.
Henceforward, RER as the name implies, are replenish able resource that naturally are regenerated in accordance with the climatic condition and topography of the locality of solar, hydro, and so on as established by Mohammadi et al. The common among the renewable energy resources are solar and hydro considering their technical and economic benefits as considered by Daut et al. From the deep literature survey conducted, a lot of studies are being done with divergent ideas and necessities on the possibility of integrating wind and PV system.
The studies can be classified into, modeling, design, optimization, control and techno-economic strategies. On the other hand, some researchers proposed a stand-alone hybrid system, while others applied wind and PV system in grid connected mode. A lot of modeling and design of the PV and Wind have been developed using different approaches.
The design can be categorized into two, it can be a grid or stand-alone. A grid PV-Wind system proposed by Harini et al. The design was implemented in Matlab environment using Simulink.
The schematic diagram of the overall system is shown in Figure 7. Schematic diagram of a grid PV-Wind system. PV-Wind hybrid system was used to generate electricity in Iraq; the planned system was simulated using MATLAB solver, where the input variables for the solver were the meteorological data for the selected areas and the sizes of PV and wind turbines.
Outcomes revealed that it is achievable in Iraq to implement the solar and wind energy to come up with enough power for some communities in the desert or rural area. Additionally, it is feasible to use such a system as a black start source of power in the course of total shutdown time. Final results also showed that the desired place for this system is in Basrah for both solar and wind energy [ 32 ]. A Wind-PV-diesel hybrid power system is developed using HOMER software for a small town in Saudi Arabia which happens to be at the moment powered by a diesel power plant comprising of eight diesel generating sets of kW each, The annual contributions of wind, solar PV and the diesel generating sets were Performance of hybrid PV-Wind for hydrogen generation was studied in Sopian et al.
The system consists of photovoltaic array, wind turbine, PEM electrolyser, battery bank, hydrogen storage tank, and an automatic control system for battery charging and discharging conditions. While authors [ 35 ] have design small-scale electric grid based on hybrid PV-Wind, the model is shown in Figure 8. To increase efficiency of PV-Wind hybrid system. Multi wind turbines and PV systems was successfully model in Mikati et al. The simulation outcomes revealed that the power end result of the wind turbines in multi-turbine wind-solar hybrid system improves by In the work of [ 36 ] as shown in Figure 9 , a special hybrid PV and Wind was used to power an UV ultraviolet water purification system.
Simulation models of the two hybrid systems. Schematic of UV water filtration system. This setting enables the two resources to provide the load independently or at the same time dependent on the availableness of the energy sources.
Some design includes control strategy for instance, the work of conducted by Moubayed et al. The design considers system consistency, power quality, loss of supply, and the effects of the randomness of the wind and the solar radiation on system.
Limited studies are being done on micro generation based on PV-Wind, the best example case is a hybrid system with solar energy and wind energy for micro power production [ 40 ]. Residential hybrid PV-Wind was developed in [ 41 ].
While a PV-Wind with simple MPPT was implemented, the suggested system is desirable due to its convenience, convenience of control and affordable [ 42 ]. Few studies consider power generation to support national grid, example one study conducted in Jordan [ 43 ]. The need for additional energy tends to make us search for new energy sources. Authors in [ 44 ] designed a domestic solar-wind hybrid energy system as shown in Figure Image of the designed hybrid system.
In more remote rural areas, PV and Wind system are widely used to supply electrical energy to consumers. Different methodologies have been applied in that regards. A methodology for optimal sizing of PV and Wind for stand-alone system is presented in [ 45 ]. The study aims at minimizing cost using genetic algorithm. The findings of this study showed that optimum battery capacity, with optimum number of PV modules and wind turbines subject to lowest cost can be attained with high accuracy and reliability.
One research conducted [ 12 ], used particle swarm optimization PSO algorithm for optimal sizing of PV and Wind system, though the study is limited to micro-grid system, however, energy storage was included. In Ref. Simulation results show the outstanding effectiveness of the SA algorithm.
The optimization study conducted [ 48 ] focuses on off-grid hybrid PV-Wind using different battery technologies based on genetic algorithm GA was successfully implemented. Consequently, the optimum sizes of PV, wind turbine and battery capacity are attained under various auxiliary energy unit costs and two different loads. The best possible results are verified using loss of load probability LLP and autonomy analysis. And the financial commitment costs are examined how they are shared among those four energy sources at the optimum points.
The suggested technique is a heuristic strategy which utilizes a stochastic gradient search for the global optimization. The objective function is the minimization of the hybrid energy system total price. And the selection parameters are PV size, wind turbine rotor swept area and the battery capacity. The research study is realized for a campus area in Turkey. Sizing optimization of off-grid PV-Wind using iterative approach was used in [ 7 ].
In this perspective, several techno-economic optimization approaches for hybrid systems sizing have been revealed in the literature. The high price of renewable energy systems has brought to slow usage in many countries. Consequently, the main purpose of the research is to calculate the acceptable dimensions of a stand-alone HPWS that ensure the energy independence of the typical rural consumer with the lowest levelized cost of energy LCE.
It is acknowledged that solar energy and wind energy are two of the most feasible renewable energy resources on the globe, The work of [ 8 ] highly recommend an ideal design model for designing hybrid solar-wind systems making use of battery banks for determining the system optimum options and guaranteeing that the annualized cost of the systems is reduced while fulfilling the customized needed loss of power supply probability LPSP.
Peak shaving enables energy users to limit their maximum power requirement from the grid by supplying some of their peak energy needs from their batteries. This results directly in a reduced maximum demand charge. In reality, peak shaving as described above is only one of the many benefits offered by hybrid power systems with energy storage. Another attractive option is to use batteries to store energy from the supply system at times when the price is low and release it at those times — typically between and — when energy prices are highest.
This can be considered as another form of peak shaving and is capable of reducing energy bills very significantly. Yet another capability offered by some hybrid power systems is the ability to generate reactive power on demand. For power systems that include non-dispatchable energy sources, such as solar and wind, hybrid power systems offer huge benefits such as reduced carbon footprint and sustainability.
Hybridization allows for higher renewable penetration in the energy mix by compensating the power variations from the intermittent renewable sources - at the expense of carbon-emitting sources such as coal and gas power plants.
Keeping energy supply and demand balanced avoids voltage and frequency fluctuations, providing excellent voltage quality for the consumers. A hybrid power system with energy storage can reduce capital expenditure on equipment like transformers and save money on energy costs by cutting maximum demand, improving power factor and reducing peak-rate energy usage, but it can also do more. The batteries can continue to supply the plant in the event that the supply from the national grid fails.
In such cases, the hybrid system effectively operates as an uninterruptible power supply UPS and can, in some cases, eliminate the need for a separate UPS installation to supply critical or sensitive loads.
One more invaluable option offered by hybrid power systems is the ability to feed energy from the batteries, from solar panels or from other local power sources, back into the grid. The payment the utility makes for this energy is a very effective way of further reducing energy bills! Hopefully by now hybrid energy systems will be starting to sound attractive, but what about the technology needed to implement them?
There have been big developments in the batteries used for energy storage in recent years, with lithium-ion technology currently being the most popular choice, especially for fast-response short-period requirements.
Hybrid installation may or may not always include storage systems. Leaving aside hybrid installations with diesel generators, the most common types of hybrid electrical power combinations are:. Also, a hybrid generation plant can be created from scratch or, more commonly, an existing plant can be hybridised, adding a new module from another source to the existing generation technology. The renewable energy sector is in a constant process of innovation to increase its efficiency, competitiveness and to protect the health of the planet.
The main advantages of hybrid projects include:. Increased capacity factor in the access point of the hybrid plant thanks to the complementarity of the load curves of both technologies.
Switching between sources when one is inactive reduces the unpredictability inherent in renewable energy and improves the stability of the electricity supplied.
Thus, the power on the supply point is ensured. Speeding up connection times and the commissioning of new renewable generation plants if there is no need to apply for a new access point.
As electricity generation from the hybridisation of renewables is a recent development, specific regulation on the subject is still scarce almost all over the world. India, which has set a target of GW of solar energy and 60 GW of wind by , is one of the pioneering countries in this regard.
Since , it has had a specific policy aimed at providing a framework for the promotion of large wind-photovoltaic hybrid systems. Hybrid generation plants are also emerging in Australia, driven by tightening grid requirements. In most European countries, in terms of legal requirements, photovoltaic-wind power plants are not usually treated differently from other technologies.
Internationally, these are developers' main requirements of regulatory bodies in order to maximise the potential for hybridisation:. Skip to main content. You are in Innovation Hybrid energy.
