Hybrid Power System Modelling and Simulation

When two systems are hybridized with the addition of a storage device, the system's reliability increases dramatically. Even in this instance, enough battery bank capacity is necessary to supply electricity to the load on lengthy cloudy and non- days. As a result, in particular geographical places where the environment is acceptable, the appropriate sizing of system components is an important feature of hybrid power system hybrid models of renewable power generation. The planned research will determine whether such non-use is justifiable or whether using hybrid models in particular regions with acceptable conditions would be useful.

In this communication, the measured behaviour of a lead-acid battery bank within a stand-alone residential solar photovoltaic (PV)-genset-battery hybrid power system in Canada is presented and discussed. In order to capture rare field-based battery performance data, a newly commissioned lead-acid battery bank was equipped with a battery monitoring device capable of logging voltage, current, temperature and amp-hours every 30 s for the life of the battery. The measured data captures a severe loss of battery capacity due to a combination of short-term deep discharge and extended partial state of charge operation—conditions not unusual during winter season PV-genset-battery hybrid power system operation. Subsequent manual override of the system control set points to encourage gradual battery overcharge are shown to recover the lead-acid battery bank’s performance over the following three months. Limitations of the power conversion system’s battery management approach are discussed and a novel closed loop control system for improving lead-acid based PV-genset-battery hybrid system performance is rationalized and proposed for further research.

This article aims to make a design of the power supply for an isolated island that has difficulty in realizing the connection with the mainland power grid. An independent hybrid power system consisting of varieties of renewable power sources including solar power, wind power, wave energy and batteries are introduced. This system is dedicated to make the forecast of the electricity load of the island according to the environmental factors and the electricity demand of the island. Then it builds the basic framework and models of hybrid power system on the basis of the forecast and finds out the appropriate method to optimize the power supply.

<p class="TRANSAffiliation"><span>Indonesia has a lot of potential for renewable energy. Electricity generation from hybrid solar and wind energy will be a prospective solution to fulfill electricity supply for remote and rural communities. Although diesel generator was still part of the hybrid power system, however, with a proper design, the fuel consumption could be reduced significantly. HOMER software was utilized to aid the design process by providing optimum configuration of the hybrid power system components in terms of performance and economy.</span></p>

A surrogate modeling approach was developed and implemented for facilitating the design of renewable, hybrid power systems. A time-series hybrid power system simulation code (HOMER with supplement analysis) was replicated via readily executable neural network surrogate models. These surrogate models were subsequently integrated into a conceptual design engineering tool. The tool enables the rapid sizing and optimization of system components in the face of variable environmental conditions (i.e., renewable energy resources), economic conditions and weighted objectives. Accordingly, this tool was successfully used in the multi-objective design of a deployable hybrid renewable power system. This same capability can also be used to assess the feasibility of the requirements and constraints themselves, and potentially to guide the customer to appropriate design specifications.
