Because of the fickle nature renewable sources energy production, professionals in this sector have developed hybrid systems (HRES) that offer a constant and stable load supply. This research intends to build off-grid (HES) Malang, Indonesia, uses solar generator, wind turbine, biogas power public buildings. The HOMER program was used construct model. Following computations, multiple system mod...

A general methodology for the decomposed optimization of highly coupled, highly dynamic energy systems is presented. The approach is based on the physical division of the system into units (sub-systems, components or disciplines) subject to functions describing the energy, cost and other couplings between them. Two versions of the approach are proposed. The first approach is called the Local-Gl...

During the last years, special attention has been paid to renewable polygeneration technologies, able of simultaneously producing thermal, cooling, electrical energy and desalinated water from seawater. This paper focuses on an innovative polygeneration system driven by renewable energy sources, including the following technologies: hybrid photovoltaic/thermal collectors, concentrating paraboli...
