State-of-the-art of Decision Support Systems for the Choice of Renewable Energy Sources for Energy Supply in Isolated Regions

چکیده
The promotion of renewable energy sources (RES) and ecologically clean technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is a key policy of the European Commission. In isolated regions with great and unexploited RES potential, RES technologies can exploit local resources for electricity supply and substantial energy savings. The use of decision support systems (DSS) aims the multidimensional decision-making process regarding the choice of RES for energy supply in isolated regions. The network integration issues for the distributed energy resources (RES in our case) are challenging, since, in particular, the design of hybrid systems is strongly influenced by two components: one is the amount of energy that is expected from the renewable resources and the other is the ability of the power system to maintain a balance of power between generation and consumption. This paper reviews the DSS for the choice of RES in isolated regions and proposes some future developments. 130 P. S. Georgilakis

Evaluation of Off-grid Hybrid Renewable Systems in the Four Climate Regions of Iran
Renewable systems influence the process of supplying domestic electricity demands. It will be useful to replace the conventional energy generation system by renewable energy sources since the uncontrolled use of fossil fuels is accompanied by global warming and environmental hazards, in addition to the danger of their depletion, and because most of the energy derived from these fuels are used i...
