“…In order to minimize the photovoltaics (PV)-installation space concern, it is assumed that the rooftops of the buildings in the university are used. Because a 3 kW-capacity photovoltaic panel requires 7 m 2 [34,35], the maximum limitation of PV panels was computed as about 99,000 kW.…”

“…First, the renewable fraction of the suggested configuration presented by the simulation should be 1.00 in order to minimize the dependency on the traditional grid system. Second, COE, which is defined as "the consumed cost of a particular generation system in producing 1 kWh of electricity", is used [34]. Third, NPC, which is "the total cost for establishing, replacing and operating the suggested system in the project lifetime", is employed [35].…”

Abstract:In order to minimize the social and environmental concerns arising from the use of traditional energy resources such as fossil fuels and nuclear energy, the South Korean government has attempted to develop alternative energy resources. In particular, the large educational institutes and islands in South Korea-which have the motivation and potential to provide electrical services-are required to install renewable electricity generation facilities to reduce the burden on the local grid systems. With this trend, the current study investigates potential configurations of renewable electricity generation systems to supply the electrical demand of Jeju National University, located on the largest island in South Korea. The potential configurations suggested by the simulation results are evaluated by renewable fraction, cost of energy (COE), and total net present cost (NPC). The suggested configurations show a renewable fraction of 1.00 with COE of $0.356-$0.402 per kWh and NPC of $54,620,352-$51,795,040. Based on the results, both implications and limitations are examined.

Component sizing optimization and technoeconomic feasibility studies for stand-alone power systems have been actively discussed in recent years. However, most models and studies overlook the importance of individual component performance, input data resolution and their integration with the system. This article compares the rapidly evolving battery storage technology applications using the context of a stand-alone system, through a case study on Bruny Island, Tasmania, Australia, where the current electricity infrastructure is approaching its end of life. We constructed a mixed-integer linear programming model to achieve optimal balance between modeling accuracy and computational complexity. The model was constructed to obtain the optimal component sizing on the basis of minimum lifetime net present cost. It was shown in our work that any transition of islands to become fully stand alone should be carefully considered, where a limited grid connection could still provide significant value to the infrastructure, greatly reduce its stress over peak hours. This concept was illustrated further with another set of model scenarios aiming to explore the performance of battery storage systems with different power output allowances, limited by the time-series data resolution, were developed. It was shown that the selection of incomplete input data cycle, reliance on standardized average values and utilization of low resolution timeseries data could heavily skew the results of a model, as the use of incomplete dataset and oversimplified average values subtly conceal some of the critical sizing and operation issues in a technoeconomic feasibility study, impacting the accuracy of the model to reflect the real problem.
