“…Possible architecture of a hybrid power system using airborne wind energy in a remote off-grid application. Icon credits: [9] The use of AWE within an HPS has been considered by the scientific community, institutions and companies [10][11][12][13][14]. A detailed system design study for off-grid applications was first explored in [15] to determine the optimal capacity of the energy storage solution.…”

The majority of remote locations not connected to the main electricity grid rely on diesel generators to provide electrical power. High fuel transportation costs and significant carbon emissions have motivated the development and installation of hybrid power systems using renewable energy such these locations. Because wind and solar energy is intermittent, such sources are usually combined with energy storage for a more stable power supply. This paper presents a modelling and sizing framework for off-grid hybrid power systems using airborne wind energy, solar PV, batteries and diesel generators. The framework is based on hourly time-series data of wind resources from the ERA5 reanalysis dataset and solar resources from the National Solar Radiation Database maintained by NREL. The load data also include hourly time series generated using a combination of modelled and real-life data from the ENTSO-E platform maintained by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity. The backbone of the framework is a strategy for the sizing of hybrid power system components, which aims to minimise the levelised cost of electricity. A soft-wing ground-generation-based AWE system was modelled based on the specifications provided by Kitepower B.V. The power curve was computed by optimising the operation of the system using a quasi-steady model. The solar PV modules, battery systems and diesel generator models were based on the specifications from publicly available off-the-shelf solutions. The source code of the framework in the MATLAB environment was made available through a GitHub repository. For the representation of results, a hypothetical case study of an off-grid military training camp located in Marseille, France, was described. The results show that significant reductions in the cost of electricity were possible by shifting from purely diesel-based electricity generation to an hybrid power system comprising airborne wind energy, solar PV, batteries and diesel.

“…According to the most contemporary findings, hydrogen has been considered an environmentally friendly fuel [14]. Generating hydrogen from water electrolyzer using renewable energy sources has been taken into deliberation as an attractive purpose due to having progressive development to a clean economy [15]. Although, there are dozens of research about utilizing solar, wind and other types of renewable resources for hydrogen generation, the minority of them are dedicated to the contribution of geothermal energy.…”

In this paper, an innovative geothermal-based hybrid energy structure incorporated with power production units and industrial fuels is developed and evaluated. This integrated structure comprises an organic Rankine cycle power plant, lead-acid battery, proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, and oxyfuel power plant to generate power, hydrogen, and liquid carbon dioxide simultaneously. The comprehensive energy, exergy, exergoeconomic, and sensitivity analyses are conducted. The geothermal unit provides 9390 kW thermal power to run the organic Rankine cycle, which is designed using different working fluids to produce initial power to drive the water electrolyzer system (453 kW initial power). The electrolyzer system produces 80 m 3 /h hydrogen as the main product to be stored in a reservoir and 40 m 3 /h oxygen to drive an oxyfuel power plant that generates 41.11 MW power with 79.91% exergy efficiency. The amount of liquid carbon dioxide production is around 10.186 kg/s. For specified conditions, the total power generation is about 42 MW and the exergoeconomic analysis illustrates that the maximum capital cost occurs in oxyfuel power plant’s compressors and turbines with 938.31 $/h and 732.45 $/h, respectively. The proposed integrated structure can certainly provide a new approach toward generating power and industrial fuels utilizing geothermal renewable energy sources.
