“…Moreover, the scale of load matters for the management of renewable energy generation. Compared with the management of renewable energy generation applied to a large region or even the whole country [16][17][18], small-scale applications such as those for residential usage in a stand-alone mode can be far less complicated but also bear even more potential uncertainties related to electricity generation and demand, and the feasibility and efficiency of these off-grid HRES to meet load demand of single family communities need further study [19,20]. Focusing on smallscale utilization also allows us to analyze user behavior such as load shifts which is another important aspect of power system operation known as Demand-Side Management (DSM), consisting of Energy Efficiency (EE) and Demand Response (DR) [21].…”

“…As discussed earlier, many remote communities have excess installed capacity; including the existing system at Brochet (as shown later in Figure 4-4). Among various reasons for oversized systems, lack of reliable and high resolution load data is one of the most important and frequently occurring factors (Elma & Selamogullari, 2012). To avoid this problem, the actual power generation data log for 2011 at Brochet…”

To avoid this problem, the actual power generation data log for 2011 at Brochet Generating Station that was used in the benchmarking step was reassigned to determine an optimum microgrid system based only on diesel fuel.…”

As the existing diesel generators are nearing the end of their operational lifespan, this study uses the HOMER model to determine an optimum electricity system design at Brochet that has high electrical reliability, least cost, and low emissions. Three potential power generation options were considered and evaluated, namely: 1) only diesel, 2) only wind, 3) a mix of both. The wind-diesel hybrid system performed best for all the evaluation criteria. While maintaining high reliability, this hybrid system design resulted in 19 % reduction in electricity cost, and 30 % reduction of CO 2 when compared to the existing electricity system at Brochet. Thus, this study concludes that the wind-diesel hybrid system is the optimum electricity system design for Brochet and proposes this system replace the existing system.ii Acknowledgement

Abstract-Traditional electrolytic capacitors used in power converters are bulky, unreliable and short in their service life. This paper proposes the use of film capacitors in a high step-up DC-DC converter for renewable energy applications including photovoltaics and fuel cells. The converter is of a three-phase modular structure and six pulse rectifiers are employed to reduce the output voltage ripple. The primary side of the converter includes three interleaved inductors, three main switches and an active clamp circuit. Therefore, the input capacitor can be eliminated and the input current is greatly reduced. The zero voltage switching is achieved during the switching transition for all the active switches so that the switching losses can be reduced greatly. Magnetic energy stored in the leakage inductance is recovered and the reverse-recovery issue associated with diodes is effectively addressed by the leakage inductance of a built-in transformer. The proposed converter is justified by simulation and experimental tests on a 1000W prototype.
