There are several generating units available to meet the load demand on any given day. The mixed-integer programme case engages generating units that can be shut down or operated between minimum and maximum output levels within a specific time demand block. An examination of these conditions espouses the utilization of renewable energy technology as a reliable power generation source and its effectiveness and augmentation in a robust, heavily subjugated thermal generation system. The mixed-integer problem has the predisposition to generate many subproblems during the computation. However, with careful selection of the parameters in the model, the challenges are easily overcome. Hydroelectric energy is significant from an operational standpoint as it requires little or no ramp-up time, commonly found in many combustion technologies. The essential load-following capability, peaking capacity and voltage stability attributes render hydroelectric energy as a significant part in ensuring reliable electricity service and in meeting customer needs in a market-driven industry. When this renewable resource is combined with the thermal generation, an improved reliability function is apparent. Yet, in order to minimize the environmental effects inherent in this type of energy resource, the renewable power supply is expected to produce an effectual, consistent output. The integration of renewable generation within the electrical system entails intricate analysis of the transmission line upgrades throughout the system. These upgrades are designed to relieve congestion, improve reliability and provide voltage support by thoroughly evaluating the alternatives to accommodate the new expansion efforts. This paper examines the system integration of renewable generators, via simulated studies, in the context of electrical operations from the hydroelectric generation perspective.

“…Barin et al have proposed an MCDM methodology for evaluating energy storage systems such as pumped hydro and compressed air energy storage, flywheel, supercapacitors, and lithium‐ion storage, as well as NaS advanced batteries and VRB flow battery. The main criteria for evaluation have been chosen as efficiency, load management, technical maturity, costs, environmental impact, and power quality . Different scenarios have been generated, and the flywheel and the lithium‐ion battery have been recognized as the most satisfactory options for the power quality scenario .…”

A novel multicriteria sustainability investigation of energy storage systems

Summary Affordable, clean, efficient, flexible, and reliable energy storage is an important component of sustainable energy systems. There are several studies in the literature concentrating on improving the sustainability performance of energy storage systems from economic and technical perspectives. However, a comprehensive performance investigation of energy storage systems that take economic, environmental, social, and technical criteria into account is still needed. For that reason, in the present study, it is aimed to perform a complete assessment and analysis of the sustainability of energy storage systems for residential applications in communities and cities. Pumped hydro, conventional batteries, high‐temperature batteries, flow batteries, and hydrogen are the selected energy storage systems. In order to handle the vagueness and ambiguity during the assessment and to eliminate the perceived hesitancy in the decision makers' preferences, an innovative method, a hybrid hesitant fuzzy multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) methodology composed of hesitant fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (HFAHP) and hesitant fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (HFTOPSIS), is utilized to assess the sustainability of the selected systems. In this study, four different performance criteria: economic (power cost and energy cost), environmental (pollutant emissions, area requirement, wastewater quality, and solid waste production), social (safety, accessibility, ease of use, and public acceptance), and technical (efficiency, storage capacity, cycling limit, and performance degradation) are taken into consideration. The performance evaluation results indicate that technical performance has the highest influence and social performance has the lowest influence when evaluating the sustainability of the selected energy storage systems. And hydrogen has the highest sustainability performance compared with the other selected energy storage options.

Abstract-Islands often are confronted with severe energy challenges especially those far from the main land which operate as isolated energy systems. In those cases electricity, the queen of the energy vectors shall be obtained from diversified sources to alleviate the burden of the dependence on fossil fuels. Thereby, the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources in combination with electricity storage becomes an irrecusably challenge in the nearby future. Often a variety of criteria can be applied to identify the suitability of technologies, whereas no ideal family of criteria has been defined in the literature. Hence, decision support for energy planning and management is required. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of multi-criteria decision support methods applied to renewable energy and storage technologies. It will be analyzed where the current focus is placed on. The gaps of those analyzed studies will be evaluated and key aspects for future energy planning considerations for islands will be proposed. Finally, an outlook for a newly developed concept for island energy planning will be presented. Indeed, for most isolated islands renewable energy technologies in combination with storage devices are a desirable and valued solution for sustainable development.Index Terms-Island energy planning, multi-criteria decision support methods, renewable energy technologies, sustainable development. I. INTRODUCTIONIslands face diverse similarities in terms of their energy problems. Apart from their insularity and often not being grid-connected to the mainland energy network there are commonly social issues caused by not having sufficient energy, i.e. a high degree of young people unemployment that causes a trend of immigration, a lack of specialized work force, different levels of population density or a conservative mentality [1]. Plus, often welfare of islands depends on specific industries, mainly tourism, fishing and local businesses [2]. Even though tourism generates financial benefits, it is also the main driver for another problem; that of an increasing and highly season-depended energy and water demand [1], [3], [4]. Indeed, during the peak summer season many islands are confronted with energy security issues [5]. In correlation with tourism a high variation in the number of island inhabitants occurs [4], which during the main season might exceed that of the off-peak season by a few times [6].
