Study of operation modes of hybrid microgrid with using solar energy

Abstract

In developing countries, rural and remote areas are rarely connected to the centralized grid due to lack of transmission and distribution infrastructure. The development of a hybrid renewable energy model is an alternative solution to ensure the availability of electricity in such areas. In addition, the introduction of renewable and cleaner energy sources in power system operation has become a subject of interest to achieve deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. However, the intermittency of wind and solar energy has hindered the large-scale implementation of renewable energy sources (RES) in the power system. Hybrid energy systems (HES) utilizing RES are an alternative way to solve stability and reliability problems. The article covers the design and operation of HES in both stand-alone and grid-connected modes.
