Many developing countries suffer from high energy-import dependency and inadequate electrification of rural areas, which aggravates the poverty problem. In this work, Al-Tafilah in Jordan was considered as a case study, where the technical, economic, and environmental benefits of a decentralized hybrid renewable energy system that can match 100% of the city demand were investigated. A tri-hybrid system of wind, solar, and hydropower was integrated with an energy storage system and optimized to maximize the match between the energy demand and production profiles. The optimization aimed at maximizing the renewable energy system (RES) fraction while keeping the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) equal to the electricity purchase tariff. The techno-economic analysis showed that the optimal system in Al-Tafilah comprises a 28 MW wind system, 75.4 MW PV, and 1 MW hydropower, with a 259 MWh energy storage system, for which a RES fraction of 99% can be achieved, and 47,160 MtCO2 are avoided yearly. This study can be easily extended to other rural cities in Jordan, as they have higher renewable energy system (RES) potential. The presented findings are essential not only for Jordan’s planning and economy-boosting but also for contributing to the ongoing force against climate change.

The current paper presents an energy storage system that stores the excessive energy, provided by a hybrid system of renewable energy sources, in the form of compressed air and thermal heat. Using energy storage systems together with renewable energy sources represents a major challenge that could ensure the transition to a viable economic future and a decarbonized economy. Thermodynamic calculations are conducted to investigate the performance of such systems by using Matlab simulation tools. The results indicate the values of primary and global efficiencies for various operating scenarios for the energy storage systems which use compressed air as medium storage, and shows that these could be very effective systems, proving the possibility to supply to the final user three types of energy: electricity, heat and cold function of his needs.

Nowadays, renewable energy systems such as wind turbine generators and photovoltaic systems are introduced to power systems. However, the renewable energy system is influenced by weather conditions, and the generated power of the renewable energy system is deviated. For the provision of deviated power, the battery energy storage system is introduced to suppress the deviation of the frequency and voltage in power system. However, it needs the large capacity of a battery system, which increases the capital cost. In this paper, we propose a coordinated control strategy between the diesel generator and the battery system to reduce the capital cost of battery, inverter capacity and storage capacity. The proposed control system incorporates the H-infinity control theory, which enables intuitive controller design in frequency domain. Effectiveness of the proposed control system is validated by simulation results.


The global climate change and rapidly growing population over the decades are creating an enormous burden on conventional energy sources. Global environmental concern is expected for the proper planning of renewable sources to increase a positive impact on global warming. The hybrid renewable energy system is proposed for optimum sizing, costing, quality, and reliability of supply for the standalone system. This research study also includes a multi-objective optimization of the Net Present Cost (NPC)t, fuel cost, operating cost, and Cost of Energy of the hybrid system. A hybrid renewable energy system has been designed, which includes solar, wind, battery, and diesel generator for a standalone off-grid. The simulation and techno-economic analysis of case studies indicate that the hybrid system decreases the operating cost according to meteorological conditions. The employed algorithm, for power management, results in minimum use of diesel generator and a reduction in fuel cost. Furthermore, the proposed system shows better results when analyzed for Loss of power supply probability, Renewable factor, Carbon content, and Sensitivity. Thus, the proposed model proves that minimum utilization of diesel generator requires maximum utilization of renewable energy sources, thereby reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and reducing global warming.
