In a standalone hybrid wind-diesel-battery system, the battery lifetime is often optimistically overpredicted by hybrid system designers and battery manufacturers. As a result, battery replacement takes place more often than required. One of the reasons is due to the underestimation of battery wear from the short charge-discharge cycles, otherwise known as microcycles. A microcycle takes place ...

System power reliability under varying weather conditions and the corresponding system cost are the two main concerns for designing hybrid solar–wind power generation systems. This paper recommends an optimal sizing method to optimize the configurations of a hybrid solar–wind system employing battery banks. Based on a genetic algorithm (GA), which has the ability to attain the global optimum wi...

The objective of this contribution is to present a new numerical approach for a complete design, optimum sizing, cost estimation (capital & $/kWh) and also evaluating the performance of solar photovoltaic/battery/diesel hybrid power systems. The world-wide demand for solar photovoltaic energy systems has grown steadily over the past 15 years. The need for reliable and low cost electric power in...

Abstract Hybrid Renewable Energy System is a very good solution to the energy deficit encounter in developing countries. The paper presents optimal design of hybrid renewable system regarding technical aspect that Loss Power Supply Probability (LPSP), economic Cost Electricity (COE) and Net Present (NPC) environmental Total Greenhouse gases emission (TGE) aspects using multi-objective Particle ...

Off-grid has several complimentary functional applications and succinctly it has been regarded to be important technology to realize as its reliability, sustainability and techno-economic solution of energy. Among various decentralized generation techniques, hybrid renewable energy source (HRES) is one of the promising techniques in terms of sustainability, simplicity of operation and commissio...

An innovative concept called “Flexy developing at 2iE. This concept aims to produce electricity cost by smartly mix different available energy to the load profile of the region. With a higher solar irradiation and due to the fact that Diesel generator are massively used in sub Saharan rural areas, PV/Diesel hybrid syste application of this concept and a good solution to electrify this region, p...
