During the past couple of decades extensive research has been conducted in renewable energy hybrid systems. As a result, wind solar hybrid energy systems have become more popular and limelight of sustainable energy research. At present, the technology in this area has been developing very rapidly specially in the manufacturing sector producing new equipment with many patent rights. The main aim...

Increasing efficiency and decreasing cost are the main purposes in the design of the power generation systems. In this study two hybrid systems: solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)-gas turbine (GT) and SOFC-GT-steam turbine (ST); are considered. Increasing the SOFC input temperature causes thermodynamics improvement in the hybrid system operation. For this purpose, using two set of SOFC reactants heat...

in this paper, the development and optimization of power distribution control strategy (pdcs) have been performed for a hybrid energy storage systems (hess) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb). a common pdcs is based on the use of ultra-capacitor (uc) pack. a new simple pdcs is developed as a battery based one. for the battery based pdcs, four parameters are introduced for tuning the pdcs pe...

Energy systems are hybrid networks, linking different forms of energy sources and loads. With growing amounts of renewable generation in the energy system, the hierarchical and centralized structure of the energy system gets increasingly transformed to a decentralized and distributed structure. The concept of Smart Grid is driven by these structural changes and provides solutions for the challe...

A hybrid energy system is a combination of renewable energy sources with back up, as well as a storage system used to respond to given load energy requirements. Given that the electrical output of each renewable source is fluctuating with changes in weather conditions, and since the load demand also varies with time; one of the main attributes of hybrid systems is to be able to respond to the l...

The current electricity demand has asserted the mandatory requirement of establishing renewable energy systems. This paper reviews the major contributions on practically establishing the hybrid renewable energy systems. The contributions are investigated for its practical relevance with the growing demand, exploration of various renewable energy resources and performance accomplishment. The per...
