A Case Study for Energy Output using a Single Wind Turbine and a Hybrid System for Vadravadra Site in Fiji Islands
نویسنده
چکیده
The volatile fossil fuel cost, the growing energy demand, rise in energy security issues and the increasing concerns of environmental issues have led man-kind to look for alternative energy sources. Wind energy is one of the alternatives. Prior to installment of a wind turbine, careful wind resource assessment and energy output estimation must be carried out in order to make judicious decisions regarding wind project. This paper presents how to select optimum wind turbine for a site, how to estimate the annual energy yield, and why there is a need for hybrid system in isolated site. The paper also presents how HOMER software is used to find the optimum hybrid configuration with battery as storage. Keywordswind energy, hybrid system, battery storage, HOMER software.

Development of a mathematical model to design an offshore wind and wave hybrid energy system
Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...

متن کاملStudy on an Existing PV/Wind Hybrid System Using Biomass Gasifier for Energy Generation
Untapped pine needles with high potential for energy generation in the hilly area are not only a waste of resource but also increase the chance of environmental hazards as forest fires and GHG emission. This study is conducted to propose a new hybrid system (PV/Wind/Biomass) using abundant pine needle resource as a replacement of existing roof-mounted PV/wind hybrid system and analyse the feasi...

Using the renewable energy is the better option to supply demined in the standalone area. World’s most fast-growing renewable energy resource is the wind energy. One of the main disadvantages of this system, however, is that naturally variable wind speed causes power fluctuation problems at the load side. Besides, long-term storage of power generated by wind turbines is considered as a limitati...
