Technical analysis of photovoltaic/wind systems with hydrogen storage

Abstract

The technical analysis of a hybrid wind-photovoltaic energy system with hydrogen gas storage was studied. The market for the distributed power generation based on renewable energy is increasing, particularly for the standalone mini-grid applications. The main design components of PV/Wind hybrid system are the PV panels, the wind turbine and an alkaline electrolyzer with tank. The technical analysis is based on the transient system simulation program TRNSYS 16. The study is realized using the meteorological data for a Typical Metrological Year (TMY) for region of Novi Sad, Belgrade cities and Kopaonik national park in Serbia. The purpose of the study is to design a realistic energy system that maximizes the use of renewable energy and minimizes the use of fossil fuels. The reduction in the CO2 emissions is also analyzed in the paper. [Acknowledgment. This paper is the result of the investigations carried out within the scientific project TR33036 supported by the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia.

Influence of the Changing Local Climate on Wind Potentials of Mount Kopaonik

“…In order to improve the predictions in the presented research, validation of the data should be done by on-site measurements [9,10,11]. As the potentials are near the acceptable margin of potentials (C p~2 5%), there is a possibility for combining the system with solar or other types of RES [12,13], in order to increase efficiency.…”

“…Important research was done on atmospheric turbulence [7] and the methods of measuring wind potentials in the complex mountainous terrains of Serbia [8]. There are some papers considering the wind influence on other renewable energy sources [9], energy storage [10,11] and advanced simulation models [12,13].…”

Techno-economic investigation of solar-wind potential to power an industrial prototype using a hybrid renewable energy system

“…Otherwise, the same configuration is conserved for Nicosia. Bakić et al [13] proposed a TRNSYS design to simulate a hybrid PV wind configuration, and they presented a dynamic simulation of solar and wind potential in Belgrade city, moreover, they presented a long-term electrical production for a specific hybrid PV wind configuration and the estimation of CO 2 reduction. As a result, HS represents a promising means of clean energy generation [14].…”

Hybrid renewable energy system application for electricity and heat supply of a residential building

“…Paska et al [5] present results from design, build and exploitation of hybrid power systems -using solar photovoltaic (PV), wind energy, fuel cells, and a battery storage unit. Small hybrid systems which use wind turbines and PV modules have been studied extensively in many papers [5][6][7][8][9][10], mostly focusing on design and optimization of stand-alone power systems. Dagdougui et al [6] discusses modeling and optimization of a hybrid renewable energy system by presenting a dynamic model that is able to integrate different RES and one storage device to feed a green building for its thermal and electrical energy needs in a sustainable way.…”

“…Although, the cost of PV panels has significantly decreased over the past decade, similar problems are still present. Bakić et al [10] perform technical analysis of a hybrid wind-PV energy system with hydrogen gas storage using TRNSYS16 software. The purpose of the study was to design a realistic energy system that maximizes the use of renewable energy and minimizes the use of fossil fuels.…”
