“…While this is becoming a more 17/06/2017 common role for diesel generators to play, as in the following studies [9][10][11][12][13], there are still a high proportion of studies that implement a diesel generator as the primary source of power and use renewable technologies to support/reduce fuel consumption of this diesel generator, shown by [14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…Saheb-Koussa, Haddadi and Belhamel state that "Photovoltaic/wind/diesel hybrid systems are more reliable in producing electricity than photovoltaic-only/wind-only systems" [13]. The reason for this increased reliability is that solar PV and wind have complimentary power generation capabilities [14]. The maximum output of a solar PV panel is typically in the middle of the day, whereas wind turbines usually produce their maximum in the evening or later at night due to higher wind speeds.…”

“…Fazelpour et al conducted a study in Oman, Iran using a diesel fuel 17/06/2017 price of $0.32/litre, which given the rich supplies of oil in this area is reasonable. Despite this extremely low diesel fuel price, Fazelpour et al found that "due to Iran's energy conservation program for removing fossil fuel subsidy… [and] in considering the penalty costs of environmental emission in the calculations, wind-diesel hybrid system with battery storage is the best economic system and has a minimum NPC of$8,516,000 and a COE of 0.339$/ kW, followed by the diesel-battery system (NPC of $8,667,000 and COE of 0.339$/kWh)" [14]. This wind-diesel hybrid system has a renewable fraction of approximately 15%, with 100kW worth of wind turbines and a 600kW diesel generator.…”

“…This seems too high and, given that it contributed approximately 10% of the annualised cost of the hybrid system, it would have had a significant impact on the overall LCOE. Studies such as [14], [11], [30] and [40] costs [10,17]. Depending on the size of the solar system in question, it seems to be most logical to assume that there is some O&M cost associated with the solar PV panels, albeit relatively minor compared to their capital cost.…”

Increased implementation of renewable technology for power generation is critical to achieving the emissions targets set by many countries, as well as delivering an economically viable method of providing power to isolated communities. This project set out to analyse and compare three technologies, namely Solar PV, Concentrating Solar Thermal with thermal storage and diesel generators, for deployment in remote Australian areas. In this paper, a detailed literature review of past projects involving renewable energy hybrid power generation systems has been completed. Thirty-six sources were chosen for the review based on criteria of recentness, relevance and peer review. Using these sources, this review has identified key areas of focus in the subsequent analysis as being the inclusion of solar thermal with thermal storage and a life-cycle analysis of GHG (embodied and emitted) and demonstrated the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of implementing hybrid energy systems worldwide and in Australia.The information presented in the literature review has been used to guide the creation of an analysis code in the Python software package which analyses supplied weather and electric load data and identifies the optimum mixture of technologies in the hybrid system. The results of this analysis have shown that Port Augusta is the ideal site for implementation, with an optimum system containing 89% Concentrating Solar Thermal, 9% Diesel and 2% Solar PV and a total installed power of 8.9MW. This system has an LCOE of $0.203/kWh, a renewable fraction of 92% and results in an annual CO 2 reduction from a 100% diesel system of 13,412,749kgeqCO 2 .Final Report -ENGG7280 4 17/06/2017It is recommended for future projects in this area that weather and electric load data be gathered over several years at each site under analysis, preferably over the same period to allow for more accurate comparison. It may also be worthwhile to broaden the scope of future reviews to include wind turbines and battery technology in the analysis.

This research developed a system that can make factories more independent from the grid. The system enhances efficiency since factory operation is powered by the renewable energy generated during the production process. Winemaking is a key sector that can profit from such a system because wineries can recycle much of the waste from the raw materials employed in wine production. Moreover, the solar energy collected at winemaking facilities can also be used to reduce electricity consumption and thus increase energy efficiency. This study investigated the feasibility of using renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, in wineries in Spain, given the quantity of renewable energy produced in the country. For this purpose, cost-effectiveness, power generation, CO 2 emissions and the renewable energy fraction were taken into account. The assumption was that the photovoltaic system was grid-connected. Research results showed a reduction in electrical power costs ranging from 4% to 36%. This reduction was accompanied by an increase in the use of renewable energy of up to 57%. The results obtained are based on self-consumption or net metering policy as well as the production capacity of the winery.

Today, it is common knowledge that increased use of renewable energies has a significant impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The most notable types of renewable energies are solar energy and wind energy, whose popularity comes from their prominent features such as cost‐effectiveness, stability and easy utilization. The objective of this paper is to perform a technical–economic analysis on combined utilization of solar and wind power in two cities of Qom and Yazd, to conduct a feasibility study on the construction of clean energy producing power plants in these locations. To achieve this objective, we first gather the required data from the national meteorological organization, and then use Homer software to perform technical and economic analyses on the two considered sites. Solar and wind analyses on Qom and Yazd show that both cities have great potential in solar energy generation, but wind speed data indicate that only Qom has the wind characteristics appropriate for wind power generation. Overall, these results indicate that investments on solar energy sector of both cities will be economically justified, but only Qom has the wind characteristics required to make investments on its wind energy sector economic. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 36: 1194–1207, 2017
