This study aims to provide a comprehensive review about the configurations, operation, and integration of multiple energy sources for microgrid (MG) system. The applications of renewable and non-renewable energy sources have been discussed and analysed. Similarly, the several control strategies, protection schemes, and communication networks used for MG have been defined to provide a unique and distinct perspective for an optimal and real-time project. During the review analysis, different used software tools and techniques were observed and applied broadly. However, the most frequently used software and technique are hybrid optimization model for electric renewables (HOMER) Pro and particle swarm optimization algorithm. Additionally, the total global installed capacity for renewable sources is enhanced up to 2588 GW, including 627 GW of PV source, along with the global investment of USD 316.7 Billion on clean energy sources. Furthermore, the least levelized cost of energy for on-grid and off-grid hybrid systems using HOMER Pro was found as $0.072 and $0.145/kWh, respectively. Finally, the work has provided thorough study and future directions about MGs to assist engineers and researchers for their upcoming prospects in the field of renewable energy.

“…PVsyst is a package computer software developed by the University of Geneva in Switzerland to perform a technical and economic analysis of PV systems through simulation [19,27]. The solar radiation data needed to perform the simulation is obtained by specifying the latitude and longitude of the place where the system will be installed [28].…”

“…The solar radiation data needed to perform the simulation is obtained by specifying the latitude and longitude of the place where the system will be installed [28]. While performing the simulation calculations, the program uses the database containing detailed solar radiation, regional soiling rate, surface reflection rate (Albedo) data, physical and technical characteristics of the system tools such as the selected module and inverter [19]. PVsyst gives us the energy production, the Sankey diagram showing the array and system losses and simulation reports of the PV power plant to be installed [25].…”

“…Until a decade ago, airports were settlements with solar power plants of several hundred kilowatts, today there are many airports with solar power plants of two, five or ten megawatts [18]. Turkey has a very large potential for PV applications [19]. However, the share of renewable energy in the total energy consumed at airports in Turkey is very low due to the solar energy potential have not been used effectively.…”

The use of photovoltaic power plants is gradually increasing in order to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions at airports. Airports are suitable settlements for the installation of photovoltaic power plants as they have vast and free of shade areas that are not used in aviation activities. In this study, a 1 MWp photovoltaic power plant is proposed for Gaziantep Airport, Turkey. Performance, economic and environmental benefits of the proposed system were analyzed using the PVsyst simulation tool developed by the University of Geneva in Switzerland. The study demonstrates that Gaziantep Airport is suitable to installation of a grid-connected photovoltaic system and has a high solar energy resource. The proposed photovoltaic power plant at Gaziantep Airport is predicted to operate with an annual electricity generation of 1702.09 MWh, 78.6 % annual average performance ratio (PR), 19.43 % average capacity factor (CF) and 4.67 [h/d] annual average daily final yield.

“…In addition, the main indices for analyzing energy costs and pricing schemes has been presented. A relevant application of these indices can be found in [7] where the investment of a photovoltaic energy system was evaluated through a case study in three different cities in Turkey. In order to model production uncertainty in photovoltaic energy systems, a scenario-based approach to evaluate the potential use of solar energy for charging EVs was introduced in [8].…”

The need for deploying fast-charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) is becoming essential in recent years. This need is justified by the increasing recharging demand, and supported by new recharging technologies making EV chargers more efficient. For this purpose, we introduce an optimization model for finding the optimal deployment of EV fast-charging stations through a network of highways, while taking into account their recharging demands and the restrictions imposed by the electric grid. We also consider the availability of local photovoltaic (PV) power station and integrate its energy to the proposed recharging network. In addition, we present a case study on Paris-Saclay area where the actual mobility flows and electric network specifications are considered. We thus provide the optimal locations for EV charging stations at the studied area, and we indicate the number of chargers to be deployed at each station. Finally, we study the potential benefits of integrating local PV energy and analyze its different prices and production costs.
