A hybrid energy system integrates renewable energy sources like wind, solar, microhydro and biomass, fossil fuel power generators such as diesel generators and energy storage. Hybrid energy system is an excellent option for providing electricity for remote and rural locations where access to grid is not feasible or economical. Reliability and cost-effectiveness are the two most important objectives when designing a hybrid energy system. One challenge is that the existing methods do not consider the time-varying characteristics of the renewable sources and the energy demand over a year, while the distributions of a power source or demand are different over the period, and multiple power sources can often times complement one another. In this paper, a reliability analysis method is developed to address this challenge, where wind and solar are the two renewable energy sources that are considered. The cost evaluation of hybrid energy systems is presented. A numerical example is used to demonstrate the proposed method.

“…According to experts' predictions, wind power could capture up to 10% of the world energy market by the year 2020, if there are governmental economic incentives and improved technologies (Lee et al, 2009). On the other hand, wind power has some disadvantages as it is considered an intermittent power supply and the superior wind sites are usually located in remote areas (Chompoo-inwai et al, 2008). It is, therefore, imperative in order to provide a reliable and integrated wind resource assessment that the wind characteristics must be studied in detail at each site separately (Gungor and Eskin, 2008).…”

An integrated method for wind power estimation: application for coastal areas in Cyprus

et al. 2013

In this study, the framework of an integrated method for the estimation and analysis of potential wind energy resources in Cyprus is presented and applied, at three selected sites at the western coast-line of the island. Firstly, a statistical analysis of wind speed and direction data for selected meteorological stations at the Cyprus coast is carried out. Daily, monthly and annual variations of wind speed are established. The Weibull distributions of the sites are also determined and examined. The wind statistics obtained serve as the basis in order to estimate corrected statistical distributions over the extended areas of application through Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) which modifies the wind flow due to local topographic effects. As a result, a geo-data and wind resource base is formulated around each station. Aggregation of the data with statistical weighting methods, allows the extrapolation of the results and the visualization over the western part of the island. The application indicates the strong influence of the sea-breeze on the wind potential of the island and recovers interesting points with higher wind energy potential, suitable for wind resource exploitation. The particular methodological framework applied and the results obtained can be utilized by potential investors and wind energy developers.

In this article, a decision analysis methodology for wind energy resource assessment and development is developed and applied to the Larnaca District in Cyprus. The methodology consists of five steps: (i) formulation of a geo-data base and wind resource assessment with the Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program; (ii) establishment of constraint factors that would exclude sites from further examination; (iii) establishment of evaluation criteria and evaluation of possible sites; (iv) assessment of the weights of the evaluation criteria through the Analytic Hierarchy Process; and (v) aggregation of the criteria with the Simple Additive Weighting method, visualization of the results, and sensitivity analysis. An application of the framework in Larnaca District area in the island of Cyprus indicated that 0.1% (0.58 km 2 ) of the study region is suitable for wind resource exploitation. The particular methodological framework applied and the results obtained can be utilized by potential investors and wind energy developers.
