Experimental verification of hybrid renewable systems as feasible energy sources

Abstract

Renewable energies are a central element in the search for energy sustainability, so they are 7 becoming a substantial component of the energy scenario of every country, both as systems 8 connected to the grid or in stand-alone applications. Feasibility of these renewable energy 9 systems could be necessary not only in their application in isolated areas, but also in systems connected to the grid, in this last case when their contribution reaches a substantial fraction of the total electricity demand. To overcome this reliability problem, hybrid renewable systems could become essential and activities to optimize their design should be addressed, both in the simulation and in the experimental areas. In this paper, a laboratory to simulate and verify the reliability of hybrid renewable systems is presented and its application to the feasibility analysis of multicomponent systems including photovoltaic panels, wind generator and biomass gasification plant, plus energy storage in a battery bank, are described.

Optimum Scheduling of Isolated Hybrid Renewable Energy System - A Case Study using HOMER

“…Now it is high time to exploit the renewable energy resources instead of fossil fuels to produce electricity which will not have adverse effect on the climate behaviour [3]. The high participation of renewable energy sources is need of the hour not only for grid connected load, but also for stand-alone systems [4]. The use of hybrid renewable energy systems, which includes two or more energy sources having at least one of these resources as renewable, is being pursued [5].…”
