An inverter-battery system manufactured by Sustainable Automation Inc. (Sec. 3) underwent testing at the Alaska Center for Energy and Power's Power Systems Integration Laboratory (Sec. 2). The aim of the tests was to demonstrate that inverter-battery systems are a viable strategy for diesel-off mode operation of wind-diesel grids, and to investigate whether this particular inverter-battery syst...

The need for inexpensive and sustainable electricity has become an exciting adventure due to the recent rise in local population number of visitors visiting Banana Islands. Islands is a grid-isolated environment with abundant renewable energy, establishing hybrid energy-based power system may be viable solution high cost diesel fuel. This paper describes dual-flow optimization method electrifyi...

In this paper, a small-scale PV/Wind/Diesel Hybrid Microgrid System (HMS) for the city of Yanbu, Saudi Arabia is optimally designed, considering uncertainties renewable energy resources and battery degradation. The optimization problem formulated as multi-objective one with two objective functions: Loss Power Supply Probability (LPSP) Cost Electricity (COE). An Improved Decomposition Multi-Obje...

The objective of this paper is to propose a three input boost converter for the hybrid system in order to simply the power system reduce the cost. The proposed converter having two source act as a input and third source act as a storage element. Supplying the output load, charging or discharging the battery can be made by the PV and the wind power sources individually or simultaneously. The pro...

Due to the significance of environmental aspects, modeling hybrid systems should be performed with lowest cost and pollution. Therefore, an effective optimum sizing method can ensure acceptable performance. This paper implements a “technique for order performance by similarity ideal solution” (TOPSIS) combined “analytic hierarchy process (AHP)” size standalone system based on techno-economic pa...

Because of their low impact on environment, PV/wind hybrid systems which use fuel cells (FCs) as the energy storage device are one of the most promising renewable energy sources. In such systems, optimum configuration (sizing) plays an important role for decreasing the system cost. In this paper, PV/wind/FC system is modeled and a hybrid metaheuristic technique based on chaotic search (CS), har...

Abstract The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is controlled remotely by the operator at Ground Control Station (GCS) during mission. Reliable electrical energy needed to supply needs in GCS, such as radio communications, workstations, weather stations, HVAC systems, and lamps when UAV operating. GCS located Ranai City, Natuna Islands. mission can assist military monitoring border surveillance, dis...

Depleting oil reserves and the growing concerns of global warming, have made it compulsory to seek alternative in form of environment friendly technologies like renewable energy sources. The advantage of hybrid power systems is the combination of the continuously available diesel power and locally available, pollution-free wind energy. With the Wind-Diesel hybrid power system, the annual diesel...

Due to the unpredictable nature of renewable sources such as sun and wind, integration a grid is complicated. However, hybrid energy system (HRES) can solve this problem. Constructing reliable HRES in remote areas essential. Therefore, paper proposes new methodology incorporating crow search algorithm (CSA) for optimizing scale an installed area. The constructed comprises photovoltaic (PV) pane...

This work presents a methodology for optimal parameter tuning of PID controller for frequency regulation in PV-Diesel two area power system. The gains of PV generator and diesel generator are optimized in a coordinated manner by employing biologically inspired optimized algorithms like Bat Algorithm (BA) and Firefly Algorithm (FA). Transfer function model of the diesel generator is interfaced w...
