Hybrid Energy System Based on the Mix of Fossil and Renewable Energy Resources

Renewable energy portfolio standards (RPS) and achieving the optimal mix of renewable energy

Global development in terms of increased attention to environmental protection and the finite nature of fossil resources have accelerated the use of renewable energies. Renewable energy portfolio standard (RPS), is a government policy to promote the use of renewable energy in the energy consumption basket.  The RPS stipulates the minimum amount of renewable energy that each electricity supplier...

Electrical Energy Storage on the Hybrid Grid of Renewable Energy System Using Fuzzy Controller Optimization Algorithm

The main risks of arising from the using fossil fuels can be referred to environmental pollution, the effects of greenhouse gases, climate change and acid rain. For this reason, efficient use of energy in economic development has always been considered as an important goal of sustainable development. In this study, the effects of time-varying electricity prices in the energy storage components ...

Prioritizing Renewable Energy Resources of Hormozgan Province

Energy as a geopolitical factor has gained a special occasion in power games of the world and access to energy resources has become a strategic importance for all levels of hierarchy of global power. Hormozgan province is one of the industrial provinces of Iran and this subject has caused to has been growing energy consumption in the province. Limited fossil energy resources and the problems of...

Energy resources of the 21st century: problems and forecasts. Can renewable energy sources replace fossil fuels?

Energy-Efficient Standalone Fossil-Fuel Based Hybrid Power Systems Employing Renewable Energy Sources

The cost and efficiency of fossil fuel based electric power and heat production in remote areas is an important topic, such as in Alaska with more than 250 remote villages, and developing countries such as Mexico, with approximately 85,000 villages, each with populations less than 1000 persons. The operating cost of fossil fuel based generators such as diesel electric generators (DEGs) is prima...
