“…Wind/PV/diesel hybrid systems have better reliability of power production as compared with diesel‐only, PV‐only, or wind‐only systems and usually present the optimal solution to power the remote areas . Mahmoudimehr and Shabani presented an optimal design of a standalone PV‐hydroelectric hybrid system for northern and southern coastal areas of Iran. A novel approach is employed in this regard, which consists of a combination of genetic algorithm and a straightforward quasi‐operational strategy.…”

Summary The aim of this research is to analyze the techno‐economic performance of hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) using batteries, pumped hydro‐based, and hydrogen‐based storage units at Sharurah, Saudi Arabia. The simulations and optimization process are carried out for nine HRES scenarios to determine the optimum sizes of components for each scenario. The optimal sizing of components for each HRES scenario is determined based on the net present cost (NPC) optimization criterion. All of the nine optimized HRES scenarios are then evaluated based on NPC, levelized cost of energy, payback period, CO2 emissions, excess electricity, and renewable energy fraction. The simulation results show that the photovoltaic (PV)‐diesel‐battery scenario is economically the most viable system with the NPC of US$2.70 million and levelized cost of energy of US$0.178/kWh. Conversely, PV‐diesel‐fuel cell system is proved to be economically the least feasible system. Moreover, the wind‐diesel‐fuel cell is the most economical scenario in the hydrogen‐based storage category. PV‐wind‐diesel‐pumped hydro scenario has the highest renewable energy fraction of 89.8%. PV‐wind‐diesel‐pumped hydro scenario is the most environment‐friendly system, with an 89% reduction in CO2 emissions compared with the base‐case diesel only scenario. Overall, the systems with battery and pumped hydro storage options have shown better techno‐economic performance compared with the systems with hydrogen‐based storage.

“…The study showed that PV generation could significantly share the residual grid load and established that PHS could retain low LCOE, effectively recuperating surplus production. Mahmoudimehr et al 117 performed a study of PV/PHS system based on genetic algorithm (GA) in the coastal areas of south and north of Iran. About 26% savings in total investment cost was attained in this study using PHS.…”

The integration of storage technologies into the hybrid energy system (HES) offers significant stability in delivering electricity to a remote community. In addition, the benefits of using storage devices for achieving high renewable energy (RE) contribution to the total energy supply are also paramount. The present study provides a detailed review on the utilization of pump‐hydro storage (PHS) related to the RE‐based stand‐alone and grid‐connected HESs. The PHS‐based HESs have been analyzed considering the technical details, including reliability, cost‐effectiveness, and environmental indicators. The optimization techniques are critically employed to the PHS‐based systems, including metaheuristics intelligent techniques, commercially available optimization and simulation tools, and recent advanced optimization tools. A comparative analysis of PHS integration to the stand‐alone and grid‐connected systems based on techno‐economic and environmental indicators over other storage technologies is also presented. The key technical and environmental challenges related to the PHS‐based HES are identified. Results from the recent research studies indicate that the PHS‐based HESs offer significant cost and environmental benefits over battery storage technologies. The study identifies that the particle swarm optimization is the mostly appreciated optimizing technique for cost‐effective energy supply and environmental aspects followed by hybrid optimization model for electric renewables and genetic algorithm.

“…Since the objective of this paper is to determine the optimal place and size simultaneously, the objective function is defined as below OF = min x OF sizing + OF siting (31) where X is the vector including the optimisation variables (optimal place and size). The constraints of this objective function are presented in (12)- (17) and (28)- (30). The general flowchart for MGs which do not participate in a competitive market is presented in Fig.…”

“…In [16], a multi‐criteria method has been proposed to optimally size WT, PV, fuel cell (FC), electrolyzer, hydrogen tank, and batteries, although the annual cost and the sources’ movement have not been considered. In [17], the optimal size of PV and the hydro turbine has been determined based on dynamic programming with the objective to minimise the total cost and power system loss.…”

The purpose of this article is to determine the size and place of different components in microgrids (MGs) including renewable energy resources (RERs). Various factors like reliability, uncertainty of wind speed, solar irradiance, load and load growth are considered. The Ekbatan residential complex is studied as the pilot case study placed in Tehran, Iran. Ekbatan complex has three separate sets of buildings called phase 1, 2 and 3 considered as smart MGs. The multi-objective optimization problem is solved considering RERs uncertainties, improving reliability and power quality and minimizing power DCiab Cost of changing location ith DG from location (a) at (j-1)th year to location (b) at (j)th year LDGij Cost of lost energy ℎ.
