The penetration of renewable energy systems in remote areas contributes to reply to its accrued demand of electricity. Renewable energy systems as photovoltaic generation systems and wind generation systems are characterized by their unpredictable and intermittent character presenting the main drawback of these systems. Although this advantage, the problems caused by the intermittency of these systems can be resolved by employing a battery energy storage system. To this end this paper proposes and analyses an efficient and optimal methodology dedicated to applications fed by renewable energy systems. Since an optimal energy storage bank sizing is needed in order to assure the continuity and reliability of electricity supply of remote areas from these kinds of energy sources. The first part of this article describes the renewable hybrid system structure and different factors influencing the storage system dimensioning. Different scenarios of renewable sources power generations in order to develop an optimal battery bank sizing algorithm are investigated the second part of this article. The formulation of the algorithm is finally presented and discussed.

In recent years, integration of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased dramatically due to their lower carbon emissions and reduced fossil fuel dependency. However, charging EVs could have significant impacts on the electrical grid. One promising method for mitigating these impacts is the use of renewable energy systems. Renewable energy systems can also be useful for charging EVs where there is no local grid. This paper proposes a new strategy for designing a renewable energy charging station consisting of wind turbines, a photovoltaic system, and an energy storage system to avoid the use of diesel generators in remote communities. The objective function is considered to be the minimization of the total net present cost, including energy production, components setup, and financial viability. The proposed approach, using stochastic modeling, can also guarantee profitable operation of EVs and reasonable effects on renewable energy sizing, narrowing the gap between real-life daily operation patterns and the design stage. The proposed strategy should enhance the efficiency of conventional EV charging stations. The key point of this study is the efficient use of excess electricity. The infrastructure of the charging station is optimized and modeled.

Renewable energy resources are a favorable solution for the coming energy. So, a great interest has been paid in the last decades for developing and utilizing renewable energy resources as wind energy. As it has a large energy contents and, particularize with the availability, but the major problems of it are represented in unmatched with load demand because the intermittency and fluctuation of nature conditions. Many studies focused on the new strategy of using Battery Storage System (BSS), and solving some problems that affect the DC bus voltage and the BSS by using Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC). Their capability is to store energy to realize the objective of time shifting of surplus energy with a high efficiency. The article main objective is to model, simulate, design, and study the performance of a Stand-Alone Wind Energy System with Hybrid Energy Storage (SAWS-HES). Thus, a complete model of the proposed system is implemented including a detailed modeling procedure of the HESS components. In addition to the main contribution, a study of the performance of EDLC only as a storage device that has fast response device integrated to the suggested system then it hybridized with the BSS. The HESS has the capability to compensate the DC bus voltage in the transient conditions and gives good stability for the system. The SAWS-HES utilizes one main renewable energy resource as wind turbine and overall model is employed under MATLAB/Simulink including a developed simple logic controller. The SAWS-HES simulation results presented a promising performance and have a satisfied performance in meeting the end load demands at different operation conditions. This ensures the SAWS-HES reliability and the effectiveness with HES and the controller in stand-alone operation formulating an excellent solution for the renewable energy systems

Game Changer

Sun provides abundant source of renewable energy that can be integrated with the electrical grid. Climate change issues have compelled policy makers to look into various ways to reduce carbon footprint and use green, renewable energy. Solar power, along with other alternative sources for energy, is quite popular these days. Talking about Solar, the primary disadvantage of solar power is that it obviously cannot be created during the night and power generated is also reduced during times of cloud cover. Energy Storage is a flexible asset that provides unprecedented flexibility in grid optimization. Cost effective solar energy storage methods are urgently needed due to the increased demand for solar power and due to its variability. But in today’s scenario, energy storage systems are not commercially economic for all customers, and that to more work needs to be done by industry, government, and regulators to support the continuing cost reductions. It is expected that the Energy Storage costs would slide to 41% by 2020.The value that solar and storage can together add to the energy system is leading to a more efficient, cleaner, and more secure future. However, solar energy storage becomes critical when unsteady sources of energy provide. Thus, affordable energy storage system along with the cheaper Solar energy would be lethal combination making an ultimate Game Changer for the Power Industry and Sustainability.
