“…In addition, it incorporates factors like capital recovery, interest, depreciation, tax rate, and various others. Extensive studies have been carried out to develop such a formulation for aiding in planning research. , Moreover, such formulations are being used by researchers in their respective work, especially for renewable energy technologies. , The energy demand of each refinery unit ( D s , i , t ) is dictated by the volume of production, prod t , and the energy requirement per product, E s , i , t , as in eq . The required input energy vector for respective energy hubs ( P s , j , t ) is multiplied by the coupling matrix that contains the conversion efficiencies, as defined by Geidl and Andersson, as in eq To form the network of energy hubs and allow energy exchange, the output load ( L s , i , t ) is tied in with the energy demand of the refinery units ( D s , i , t ) as well as the energy transferred from an energy hub s to b ( Tr s , b , i , t ) if a connection, β s , b , exists between them.…”

In this study, a model is developed to optimally integrate various energy generation technologies within a refinery to help reduce economic costs as well as mitigate carbon emissions. The combined heat and power system was found to reduce 80 Mton of CO2 emissions while saving $2.61 billion dollars over 30 years as opposed to utilizing boilers and grid-connected electricity. Maximum carbon emissions can be prevented by installing wind turbines to reduce further 49 Mton of carbon emissions, saving at an added cost of $53.4 million. Purchasing electricity completely from the grid was found to be the most expensive option, resulting in a monthly average of $25 million. Changes in various factors such as the land available for installation of technology, electricity tariffs, and efficiency of modules and their impacts on the total project costs and emissions were studied. It was found that solar photovoltaic (PV) modules can be a more economical and environmentally friendly option than wind technology if they were equally efficient. Moreover, grid-connected electricity would only be the most economical option if it were purchased at $0.03/kWh or lower. However, it is currently sold at close to $0.10/kWh, making CHP the most economic option for refineries.

“…In some studies, the battery is replaced by pumped hydro storage, because of the lower cost of energy. Alturki and Awwad [24] studied a system located in Saudi Arabia where the optimal configuration is with higher PV fraction, while the WT has a higher fraction for a system in Libya [25]. The advantage of the pumped hydro storage over batteries is confirmed in [26] for a system in Bangladesh, powered by a PV and a diesel generator.…”

“…Both influences are also considered with different models in [15,16]. The studies with specialized software use a model based on the PV cell's equivalent circuit with one diode [17,20,21,25]. All of the mentioned models are appropriate for the modeling of monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels, which limit their application in this study because of the consideration of thin-film PV technologies.…”

“…The WT in [17] is vertical, and its model is specialized and uses the manufacturer's data. The linear interpolation of the manufacturers' data is used in [15,19,25]. The equation models are not appropriate for small WT, due to the power curve form, while the linear interpolation requires information for the power curve with small steps of the wind speed.…”

The Green Deal and increased nutritional needs are driving factors in human activities nowadays. Agriculture is an essential economic sector that can profit from the application of renewable energy sources by the assimilation of off-grid, arid and barren terrains. Power supplied by hybrid systems for water pumping is a solution for overcoming the stochastic character of the renewable energy sources. This paper presents a sizing methodology for a hybrid system with wind and PV generation and water tank storage, based on the consideration of the entire energy conversion chain with energy models and a one-year operation simulation. The PV generator is modeled using a reduced Durisch’s model, while for the wind generator a piecewise interpolation is used. The methodology is applied for sites in Bulgaria with specific agricultural crops and meteorological data. Combinations of PV (different technologies) and wind (different types) generators and water tank capacities are considered and discussed. The combinations are compared on the basis of three criteria: the investment cost, the satisfaction of crop requirements and system oversizing. The possibility for the introduction of battery storage is also examined. The results show some trends in the hybrid system sizing and the possibility to apply the proposed methodology for various sites, generators and crops.

“…Another technique, based on numerical simulation, of optimization of the size and cost of a Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) for off-grid DC micro grids is developed by Premadasa et al 13 Furthermore, a novel penalty cost function for the HESS is introduced. In the same context, another work authored by Nassar et al 14 suggests an efficient sizing and optimization procedure for a PV/Wind power system including a Pumped Hydroelectric Storage (PHS) for sustainably feeding an urban community. To this end, the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCE) is achieved by introducing an economic analysis.…”

This paper suggests a new sizing optimization method of an off-grid renewable energy system. To perform an accurate analysis of the distribution of the exchanged energy with all storage elements, the discrete Fourier transform tool has been used. Besides, different frequency strains have been achieved in accordance with the dynamic of each storage device. Thus, the problem formulation targets the minimization of the Total Cost of Electricity (TCE) for the purposes of improving the reliability, and increasing the performance and the exploitation of the renewable energies for electrification fulfillment. The Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP) is also considered to improve the reliability rate of the selected configuration. Considering all storage dynamics to achieve the energy management strategy, a modified Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm is proposed to address this problem. Based on economic evaluation and analysis, an optimal configuration of the system has been established. Referring to a high level of economic feasibility, the obtained results affirm that this architecture is able to deal successfully with the current sizing problem through its flexibility to achieve the lowest cost which is decreased by around 0.7 e 04 $ compared with the start of the search for the desired solution.
