Hybrid renewable energy systems, combining various kinds of technologies, have shown relatively high capabilities to solve reliability problems and have reduced cost challenges. The use of hybrid electricity generation/storage technologies as off-grid stand-alone systems is reasonable to overcome related shortcomings. Solar and wind energy are two rapidly emerging renewable ones that have precedence in comparison to the other kinds. In this regard, the present paper studies four specific locations in Iran, which are candidates for research centers. Based on the solar radiation and average wind speed maps, techno-economically optimized systems are designed by simulating behavior of various combinations of renewable energy systems with different sizing, including wind turbine (WT), photovoltaic (PV), Fuel cell (FC), and battery banks. According to the results obtained by a computer program, it is concluded that the hybrid systems including WT and PV with battery backup are less costly compared to the other systems.Moreover, we found that among non-hybrid systems, in most regions of Iran's territory PVs are more economical than WTs. Despite of its advantages, FC has not been applied in the optimal systems due to its high initial cost and its low replacement life.

“…A battery energy storage system (BESS) for an FRT strategy was presented in previous papers. 15,16 However, these papers do not study a rotor current or stator current. The integration of a super capacitor energy storage system (SCESS) for wind energy applications was reported in Abbey and Joos, 17 but the fault consequences, such as the rotor current, stator current, and DC-link voltage, were not restricted within the safety limit, and the installation cost was much higher.…”

Effectiveness evaluation of passive resistive element placement on a fault ride‐through enhancement in a DFIG‐based wind energy conversion system

Over the last few decades, doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) have become one of the most successful and preferred types of wind energy generators (WEG). The DFIG has the advantages of a wide range of speed operations, a high efficiency, and partial rated converters. However, direct coupling of the stator with the grid makes the system more prone to grid disturbances. The consequences of grid disturbances, such as a rotor overcurrent, stator overcurrent, electromagnetic torque oscillations, and direct current (DC) link overvoltage, are the predominant considerations that affect the rotor circuit, stator circuit, mechanical components, and DC-link capacitor of the DFIG, respectively. These uncertainties affect the operation of the generator and may lead to the generator to be shutdown. In this paper, a novel position for the placement of a passive resistive element (PRE) is illustrated. This position of the PRE placement is compared with all other possible locations for the PRE. The different locations for PRE placement are the stator side, rotor side, across the DC-link capacitor, and between the rotor side converter (RSC) and grid side converter (GSC). This paper aims to determine a cost-effective solution among all possible locations of the PRE placement. The novel position of the PRE, ie, between the RSC and GSC, is the best position among the other possible locations of the PRE, when the performance, cost, and loss are taken into consideration. The effectiveness of the PRE is further compared with the resistive-type superconducting fault current limiter (R-SFCL). The PRE performs better and has a lower cost than the R-SFCL.

“…Compared with the grid reinforcement and fossil fuel utilities dispatch, EES employment solutions are likely to be more economical and technical feasible [12][13][14]. Currently, there are numerous literatures reviewing and discussing the employment of suitable storage technologies for wind power integration [5,[15][16][17][18][19].…”
