Why are remote Western Australians installing renewable energy technologies in stand-alone power supply systems?
As people living in remote areas rely on SPS systems for their electricity and water needs, they hold a practical and non-idealistic perspective towards using renewable energy technologies. This research explores pastoral owner-operators’ personal experience and opinion of stand-alone power supply (SPS) systems over 30 years in remote pastoral regions Western Australia (WA). This research was u...
متن کاملDesign and Development of Stand-Alone Renewable Energy based Hybrid Power System for Remote Base Transceiver Station
Due to the increasing number of mobile users, there is a huge demand of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) particularly in rural and semi urban areas. These BTS are operated on diesel generator (DG) and also connected with the existing grid supply. However, the grid supply is rarely available in most of the remote locations. Therefore, diesel generators are mainly used for providing the continuous ...
متن کاملRemote area power supply system technologies in Western Australia: new developments in 30 years of slow progress
Renewable energy capacity in stand-alone power supply (SPS) systems has undergone a dramatic growth in Western Australian (WA) remote off-grid agricultural and pastoral regions. This growth was encouraged through capital cost subsidies of photovoltaic, wind turbine and enabling technologies. This research explores and quantifies the changes over time of energy demand and the rated output of ren...
متن کاملStructure Optimization of Stand-Alone Renewable Power Systems Based on Multi Object Function
This paper presents a methodology for the size optimization of a stand-alone hybrid PV/wind/diesel/battery system while considering the following factors: total annual cost (TAC), loss of power supply probability (LPSP), and the fuel cost of the diesel generator required by the user. A new optimization algorithm and an object function (including a penalty method) are also proposed; these assist...
متن کاملStudy of optimization design criteria for stand-alone hybrid renewable power systems
Hybrid renewable power systems integrate two or more sources of energy, one of which is renewable, optionally a storage system and typically work in stand-alone mode. They are being considered more and more and we should increment their usage taking advantage of their positive benefits: free of charge resource availability, CO2 emissions reductions and subsidies. Dealing with their inconvenienc...
