“…Some of the common types of softwares used for simulation and optimization of hybrid systems are HOMER, RETScreen, SOLES, INSEL, TRANSYS, HYBRID2, IMBY, SOLSIM, CREST, RAPSYS and SAM. Out of all these, HOMER developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory is the most widely used [5][6][7][20][21][22]. So many works have been done on HRES, both off-grid [7-13, 16, 23-28] and grid connected [17,22,29].…”

A hybrid renewable energy system is at present accepted globally, as the best option for rural electrification particularly in areas where grid extension is infeasible. However, the need for hybrid design to be optimal in terms of operation and component selection serves as a challenge in obtaining reliable electricity at a minimum cost. In this work, the feasibility of installing a small hydropower into an existing water supply dam and the development of an optimal sizing optimization model for a small village-Itapaji, Nigeria were carried out. The developed hybrid power system (HPS) model consists of solar photovoltaic, small hydropower, battery and diesel generator. The optimal sizing of the system’s components for optimum configuration was carried out using Genetic Algorithm. The hybrid model’s results were compared with hybrid optimization model for electric renewable (HOMER) using correlation coefficient (r) and root mean square error (RMSE) to verify its validity. The results of the simulation obtained from the developed model showed better correlation coefficient (r) of 0.88 and root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.001 when compared to that of HOMER. This will serve as a guide for the power system engineers in the feasibility assessment and optimal design of HPS for rural electrification.

“…In the current era, the claim for requiring nontraditional renewable energy resources such as biomass, fuel cells, and thermoelectric generators is increased.

The main objective of this paper is to determine the optimal sizing of a biomass and fuel cell micro-grid. The biomass generator will be utilized as the main source of power generation for the study area, while the fuel cell generator will be used as a backup generator to be used if the biomass generator fails to meet the energy requirements of the study area. In this research, excess energy will be used to produce hydrogen which is to be used by the fuel cells to generate energy instead of using batteries. To achieve the goal of this paper, a multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) technique has been proposed to solve the sizing problem for the introduced micro-grid via an economical perspective which is the cost of energy (COE). The MOPSO algorithm tries to mitigate the COE to the lower values by keeping the loss of power supply probability (LPSP) as minimal as possible. Likewise, statistical analysis has been concluded to study the accuracy of the outcomes of the introduced technique.

Design of a self‐sustained hybrid renewable energy microgrid for rural electrification of dry lands

et al. 2021

Advancement of energy exploitation increased the demand for various alternative generation methods and efficient production and utilization systems. Such kind of alternative energy systems would be of great use in certain terrains like dry lands wherein drought is prevalent and scope for solar photovoltaic (PV) installations is cost-effective and a viable solution for power demand. Ramanathapuram is one such dry land in southern part of India which is a drought prone coastal district, which has surplus wind and solar energy to be harnessed effectively. However as PV systems are affected by various conditions like position of the sun, change in temperature, and irradiance due to passing clouds, improving the intermittency of solar power is mandatory which calls for an energy storage system, which is an electric vehicle in this article. The foremost idea behind this article is to develop a self-sustained hybrid microgrid incorporating an electric vehicle in combination with the solar power system which enhances the performance of the system by absorbing the variations in power produced. In this work, the real field data from National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) is used to show the variation in temperature and irradiance. The main objective of the article is sustainable development of the dry land through natural resources which helps in the development of a permanent solution for the existing power crisis in the district. A coordinated control of a PV, Wind, and EV based microgrid is designed by considering the state-of-charge (SOC) of the battery to obtain desired outcome. The modeling is done in PSCAD/EMTDC and the results are verified through simulation.
