Hybrid PV and wind grid-connected renewable energy system to reduce the gas emission and operation cost

Abstract

This paper presents the methodology and results of the simulation and optimization of a hybrid renewable energy system for supply to a workstation reducing the gas emissions and the operation costs, so that to determinate the optimal system. The fundamentals equations used to estimate the operational costs are presented. The software used to simulate and optimize the purposed system is HOMER Pro®, this software can simulate energy systems with renewable fractions and optimize those systems to obtain the best system to use. In addition, the hybrid PV/Wind system replace 23.01 % of the grid purchases when they are working in parallel, the hybrid PV/Wind system take a reduction of the 12.46 % annual operation cost over the 100% of grid purchased and 9.3 % of the total operation cost over the 100% of the grid purchased. Finally, it can be concluded that the use of renewable energy systems takes greatest reductions on the supply systems if it takes the optimal design to develop the supply system.

Advance Exergo-Economic Analysis of a Waste Heat Recovery System Using ORC for a Bottoming Natural Gas Engine

“…In this section, the influence of the engine load on the heat recovery system energy and exergy performance integrated into the natural gas engine was studied, as an alterntive to reduce the global operational cost and increase the thermal efficiency [43]. The engine power control system adjusts internal engine variables, such as the pressure and temperature of the air-fuel mixture before entering the cylinders, and the recirculation percentage, to provide high efficiency in partial load operation of the gas engine.…”

Techno-Economical Planning of an Off-Grid Integrated Renewable Energy System

“…This can be mitigated by integrating a Battery Energy Storage (BES) with a RES-based electricity generation unit (Mamaghani et al 2016). The Integrated Renewable Energy System (IRES) not just improves dependability but also significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions (Budes, Ochoa, and Escorcia 2017). In sparsely inhabited, isolated, hilly places, RES-based power generation is the ideal alternative to DG due to its cheap maintenance and nearly nil operating costs.…”

Technical, economic feasibility and sensitivity analysis of solar photovoltaic/battery energy storage off‐grid integrated renewable energy system

“…5 This integrated renewable energy system (IRES) not only increases reliability but also decreases greenhouse gas (GHG) in a significant manner. 6 The low maintenance and almost zero running costs make RES-based electricity generation the perfect alternative to DG in sparsely populated, isolated, hilly areas. Where the electricity demand is very low and the grid is not accessible for technical and economic reasons.…”
