Renewable energy supplies are renewable energy sources that are of great benefit to the world today. Among the most commonly used renewable energy resources, solar energy is used to produce electricity, clean water supplies, respectively in every area of our lives. Photovoltaic cell transforms solar energy into electricity type, which includes solar cells. Some MPPT systems have been suggested to obtain optimum efficiency out of this system under different weather conditions. For an efficient operation and power extracted from a PV module, an MPPT is necessary. To improve the accuracy of the Solar Panel, a variety of approaches are used, the most common of which is MPPT or P&O. The basic goal of full power point tracking is to interpret the voltage and current from the solar panel, measure the power, and then display the power to its limit. Multi-stage DC-DC converter manages MPPT, and PWM controls grid current from Inverter. The inverter circuit provides all the activities in a single phase that involve MPPT and grid current power. In this proposed work, the DC / AC converter will be intended to ensure the system's safe interconnection and procedure and to retain the utility grid's power quality, so both MPPT techniques will be analyzed, established and contrasted via a converter to convert the highest energy from PV to the grid.

The decrease in fossil-based energy sources and increasing environmental problems increase the tendency to renewable energy sources day by day. The potential of renewable energy sources differs according to the region where the energy will be produced. For this reason, it is crucial to conduct a good feasibility study that deals with the selected systems from a technical and economic point of view before making an investment decision on energy conversion systems based on renewable energy sources. In this study, the most suitable equipment and capacities were investigated by examining the techno-economic analysis of a hybrid system created with wind-solar renewable energies for a detached house, which is considered off-grid, in a rural area of Tekirdağ province (40o58.7ı N, 27o30.7ı E). Investigations were carried out using the HOMER Pro (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable) program. The wind and solar energy potential of Tekirdağ province were obtained from the NASA renewable energy resources database added to the HOMER Pro program. The daily electricity requirement of the sample house was chosen as 11.27 kWh, and the current peak electrical load was chosen as 2.39 kW. A wind turbine is connected to the AC busbars, solar collectors and battery group connected to the DC busbars, and a converter that converts energy between AC and DC busbars in the energy conversion system. In order to determine the optimum capacities of the system elements, 27486 different simulations were performed by HOMER Pro. The selection of the most suitable system among these was determined according to the lowest net present cost (NPC) value. In addition, the energy production capacities that will occur in the case of different wind speeds were also investigated. Accordingly, the system to be installed with a solar panel with a capacity of 6.25 kW, PV-MPPT with a capacity of 1 kW, 2 wind turbines with a capacity of 1 kW, 8 Lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 6V-167 Ah, and a converter with a capacity of 2.5 kW has been determined will generate electrical energy of 5433 kWh per year. In addition, it has been determined that 61.8% of this produced energy will be obtained from solar energy and 38.2% from wind energy, and the simple payback period of the investment will be 14 years. It is thought that this study will provide valuable information to researchers and investors.

Indonesia has abundant renewable energy resources. In 2005 this country, however, only consumed 0.38% renewable energy of the total energy consumption. Most of the energy sources of the country are from fossil fuels which result in high CO2 emissions. Solar energy systems would be as an option to reduce the CO2 emissions of this country. This paper studied the application of solar energy to provide cooling for medium temperature food refrigeration based on Indonesian weather conditions. The paper additionally analyzed the environmental impact relating to CO2 emissions, and investigated the economical aspect. CFD-Fluent software was applied on modeling the modification of the absorption chiller generator to enable it to operate with heat from solar radiation, while F-Chart and Microsoft Excel spreadsheet were used to analyze the solar system and the economical viability of the technology. The results showed that the optimum modification of the absorption chiller was to use a jacket for heat addition. CFD modeling with Fluent using Diphyl THT as the heat transfer fluid (HTF) indicated that the system would function optimally at fluid temperature input of 180°C, whereas the optimum average temperature of the chiller generator would be 170 °C. The proposed technology was found economically less viable for food refrigeration compared to the vapor compression cycle using R-404A but it could provide a significant impact on the environment by a reduction of 37% CO2 emissions.

Renewable energy resources for energy generation in the Gaza Strip (GS) emerge as a complementary resource, not only to meet the need of society for energy in various forms, but also to find available, sustainably, and less costly resources for institutions as with individuals. These resources could provide safety in use, increase energy security, and address environmental concerns. This work aimed to assess the renewable energy potential in the GS, which has few natural resources and a real crisis in energy supply. Therefore, an integrated evaluation methodology is assumed for renewable energy potential; the methodology comprises mathematical as well as software programming to assess the renewable energy. The results reveal the assessment of the existing four renewable energy sources: solar, wind, wave, and biomass. The estimations exhibit that the solar and biomass resources are dominant. The methodology consists of mathematical models for calculating the energy outputs from different resources in the study area. ArcGIS 10.1 software used for calculating solar radiation, WindSim 9.0.0 software for estimating wind energy and OpenWEC software tool for evaluating the force stored in coastal waves. The potential of each energy and the integration of all are depicted in individual maps by ArcGIS. It was found that if anaerobic digestion technology is applied, 65.15 MW electric power could be produced from about one-and a third million tons/year of biomass. Depending on the available statistical data due to the specified annual time period and the household electric demand that is about 120 MW at the corresponding time, this means that the energy from biomass can cover more than half of the demand. In addition, solar energy potentials were estimated to reach 1195 GWh/year. Therefore, the existing power may be replaced by biomass and solar energy. It also demonstrates that the energy potential maps can be used as metrics for possible sustainability projects in the GS.

In the context of the sustainable development, the problem of the widespread use of renewable energy resources, which are clean and inexhaustible, is becoming more acute. In this regard, it is necessary to develop some capture installations that use renewable energy sources as efficiently as possible and with low impact on the environment. This paper presents a patented installation that integrates three sources of renewable energy: wind energy, solar energy and hydraulic energy of water current. The efficiency of this complex installation is given by the fact that the simultaneous capitalization of the three renewable energy sources leads to a high efficiency, in relation with the occupied area. To increase the renewable energy absorption level, both the air turbine and the hydraulic turbine have been equipped with different bioengineering models of blades and paddles. Following the testing of the two turbines equipped with blades and paddles with bioengineering geometry, a significant improvement of their efficiency was found, compared to the initial blades and paddles.

Powering of intelligent wireless sensors without a permanent electric connection is a general problem which is often solved by adopting alternative power sources. One of the most commonly used sources is solar energy in the form of solar panel and charging circuits. However, it is not possible to find a solution in the markets for operation in changeable weather conditions, where sun intensity is not so high. This fact leads us to the development of optimized solar panel and all circuits for reliable power supply of wireless sensors. A special charging circuit for Li-ION battery and DC-DC adapter circuit for stabilization of wireless sensor working voltage were developed and optimized for very low energy consumption and high efficiency.

This paper presents a multiagent system (MAS) day-ahead co-operation framework between renewable energy resources (RESs) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) owned by different stakeholders. BESSs offer their storage services to RESs by shifting RES power to sell it during profitable peak-hours (aka; time-shifting). The MAS framework consists of three phases. Phase-one is a pre-auction phase that defines the maximum charging and discharging BESS power limits. These limits guarantee a reliable distribution system operation without violating the buses’ voltage limits or the ampacity of the branches. Phase-two is an auctioning phase between the BESS-agents and the RES-agents. Each agent has a different owner with a specific profit agenda and risk levels. The agent tries to maximize the profit potential of the owner. The agents use historical trade data and expected weather conditions to maximize profitability. Phase-three is called the post-auctioning phase, in which the agreement between the BESS- and RES-agents is finalized, and the agents are ready for another 3-phases trade. Case studies compare different auctioning strategies and prove the effectiveness of the proposed MAS system.

The use of fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and others as a fuel for conventional plants has an impact on the environment. Environmental impacts that occur such as environmental pollution from the greenhouse effect (greenhouse effect) that causes global warming, acid rain, the destruction of the ozone layer to the loss of tropical forests. With the condition of the need for renewable energy in the fossil energy era is running thinning at this time making the use of solar energy to meet human needs for energy to be the right choice. The use of solar energy becomes an option because of the nature of the source of solar energy that will not run out, and its easy use and application compared to other renewable energy sources. PLTS maintenance support becomes very important when PLTS has been installed. In Solar Power Generation, energy storage systems need special attention because they involve continuous energy availability especially during cloudy or late night when there is no sunlight. In this research will be discussed about the study of energy storage on PLTS battery. This characteristic is influenced by several things such as weather conditions and duration of irradiation on an area that affect the value of light intensity, voltage (V), current (I) and power that can be caused. From the research found that installed solar panels can generate power 1553,82 watts for 9 hours of solar radiation for one day.
