“…few seconds) [338] Requirement of parametric tuning depending on problem structure; Local optimality may result due to inappropriate parameter inputs [338] Swine Influenza Model-Based Optimisation (SIMBO) Model Able to solve multi-modal problems with short computational time and high accuracy; simple execution and better exploration ability [339] Large iteration number and slow convergence for large-scale problem [339] Minimum total cost (TC) and operational cost (OC) Biomass generation turn-down ratio, battery storage operation, and inverter operation Solar PV and biomass generation capacities; Energy and power-related energy storage capacities Investigates the daily and weekly modes of stored energy dispatch scheduling, and DG design variation with respect to TC and OC; Evaluates the compatibility of energy storage system with daily and weekly operational modes Ho et al [26] Minimum total annual cost, and carbon emissions Energy balance, equipment constraints, trade-off constraint with power grid, and thermal energy interchange constraint Capacities of solar thermal, CHP, natural gas boiler, and thermal storage systems Applies to optimisation of CHP-based DG system integrated with district heating system; Total DG capacity increases with incorporation of thermal energy interchange mechanism; DG cost effectiveness is sensitive to energy cost uncertainties Wu et al [65] Minimum outsourced electricity Energy Energy balance, water mass balance, PHS water outlet flow rate constraint, water gate operation, and renewable energy penetration rate Sizes of wind turbine and diesel generators; Capacity of PHS system Applies to solar PV/hybrid wind/diesel generator/PHS DG system optimisation; Considers sequential multi-objective optimisation approach in lieu of fuzzy optimisation approach; Installation of additional wind turbine reduces the upper reservoir size, whereas decreased cycle efficiency of PHS increases the number of wind turbine for reliability DG operation Chen et al [282] Minimum outsourced electricity and NPC Energy balance, inverter and rectifier operation, and energy storage system power rating Capacities of solar PV, wind turbine, and biomass generation systems; Type and capacity of energy storage system; Power dispatch schedule Applies to a hypothetical eco-industrial park comprising of batch and continuous processes; Lead-acid battery system is chosen in economic perspective, but superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) results in the most efficient design Theo et al [119] Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) Minimum total annual loss and cost of energy (COE)…”

“…In addition, those associated with macro-planning include outsourced electricity amount [6,277,278], battery size [137,[279][280][281], diesel consumption [271], wind turbine number and Pumped-Hydro Storage (PHS) capacity [282]. These indirect proxies are minimised to achieve economic efficiency, minimum footprint requirement and environmental impacts in DG optimisation.…”

“…power loss, voltage stability, distribution network topology, etc.). The latter has been extended for DG optimisation with minimum cost [26], outsourced electricity target [277], carbon emissions [65], diesel consumption, wind turbine number, and pumped-hydro storage-related parameters [282].…”

PV, Wind and Storage Integration on Small Islands for the Fulfilment of the 50-50 Renewable Electricity Generation Target

“…Meanwhile, other studies included the analysis of the electricity excess generated after covering the electric demand [6] as a flexible load that produces desalinized water as well as drinking water. There are also studies that include an analysis of the use of pumping water-used for energy storage-as a stability solution in a hybrid renewable system for islands [7][8][9][10]. Other cases use batteries for energy storage on islands [11].…”

Fixed‐Time Feedback Control of the Hydraulic Turbine Governing System

“…Hydropower is a renewable energy source and it has high potential for economically viable utilization [1]. The past few decades have witnessed the rapid development of hydropower energy, which supplements or often replaces decommissioned coal-fired power plants [2].…”
