Review of the Optimal Design on a Hybrid Renewable Energy System

Abstract

Abstract. 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 is reasonable to overcome related shortcomings. While the hybrid renewable energy system is attractive, its design, specifically the determination of the size of PV, wind, and diesel power generators and the size of energy storage system in each power station, is very challenging. Therefore, this paper will focus on the system planning and operation of hybrid generation systems, and several corresponding topics and papers by using intelligent computing methods will be reviewed. They include typical case studies, modeling and system simulation, control and management, reliability and economic studies, and optimal design on a reliable hybrid generation system.

Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems’ Optimisation. A Review and Extended Comparison of the Most-Used Software Tools

“…It shall be noted that LOLH and LOLP can be categorised as loss of load indicators, while the other power reliability indicators examined can be categorised as loss of energy indicators [76,77].…”

The Development of Monitoring and Control System of the Low PV/T Solar System

“…The concentrator provides increased density of the incoming solar energy flow in 2…3 times, thereby increasing the efficiency and the production of electricity. Also because of the increase in incoming solar flux on the surface of the PV module is heated; which leads to loss of efficiency and, when heated to a temperature above 130 ° C, delamination or deterioration of elements of ohmic contacts photocells [2,3].…”
