This paper presents the development and the performance analysis of the developed model of a voltage-based coordinating controller. This model is developed to perform activities such as sensing, measuring, switching, coordinating, and effectively managing the output voltages produced by the solar-wind renewable energy sources in order to supply the connected load or/and charge the battery storage system. The developed model has different tasks to perform when solar-wind energy sources both produce output voltages simultaneously, also contributing to solving the requirements of different synchronization algorithms for a multi-agent renewable energy system. The sensed and measured output voltages of the solar-wind energy sources are used as directive information to allow the developed model’s controller to supply the available power to the connected load or/and charge the battery storage system. Also, the produced information at the model’s controller input is used to individually control the other sub-system, which directly assists in achieving the aim of simultaneous operation when both solar and wind energy sources produce output voltages. The model is developed and simulated in Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results are used to validate the developed methodology and the aims of the developed model.

Pumped Storage

A elevada intermitência das fontes de energia renováveis condiciona a produção de energia elétrica, que continua a depender muito dos combustíveis fósseis. Uma vez que existe complementaridade por parte das fontes de energia renováveis, a sua integração conjunta é, sem dúvida, a melhor solução para reduzir esta dependência. Aliado a este facto, poderá coexistir um sistema de armazenamento por bombagem, capaz de gerar reservas hídricas, que serão aproveitadas quando a procura exceder a oferta energética. Procedeu-se ao desenvolvimento de dois modelos: um sobre custos de turbomáquinas e outro que visa o estudo do potencial de recuperação de energia de uma solução energética híbrida com armazenamento por bombagem combinado com fonte de energia eólica. Foram estudadas diferentes combinações para estas duas fontes de energia renovável, analisando o consumo satisfeito e a energia eólica não consumida, tendo-se concluído que o excedente de energia eólica pode ser aproveitado para bombagem. The high intermittence of renewable energy sources determines the production of electricity, which remains highly dependent on fossil fuels. Since there is complementarity between renewable energy sources, their joint integration is a potential solution to reduce this dependency. Consequentially, a pumping storage system capable of generating water reserves can coexist, which will be used when demand exceeds the energy supply. Two models were developed: one based on turbomachinery costs and the other based on the potential of energy recovery of a hybrid energy solution with pump storage combined with wind energy. Different combinations were studied for these two sources, analysing the satisfied consumption and the wind energy that is not consumed, in which it was concluded that the surplus of wind energy can be used by pumped storage.

Wind Energy Development

Abstract European energy system is undergoing a deep transition to low-emission energy sources, mainly wind farms. This transition is caused mostly by energy politics of European Union (EU) and its goals in the topic of renewable energy. European wind energy is dominated by Germany that produces half of total wind energy in EU. The aim of this article is to present support systems for wind farms existing in Germany in the context of introducing in Poland the Act of 20 May 2016 on Wind Energy Investments limiting onshore wind farms localization and Act of 22 June 2016 introducing changes to the Act on Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and some other acts. It is postulated to make amendments of acts regulating RES while considering German solutions.

Due to the increasing oil and gas demand, the shortage of fossil fuel resources, serious global greenhouse effect and extremely environmental deterioration, the renewable energy sources are more and more attractive. The energy storage is a vital problem for the intermittent and seasonal renewable energy sources. In this paper, a wind energy storage system consideration of chlorine production which is located in remote offshore area is proposed. The detailed dynamic models are established and simulations are also carried out. The proposed system stores the surplus energy generated from wind farm as a form of hydrogen via the electrolyzer array, and uses the stored hydrogen to generated electrical energy at poor wind condition through a PEM fuel cell array. The simulation results show that the proposed system could not only absorb the wind power maximally, but also produce sufficient electric energy to meet the load power demands. Moreover, the proposed system could tolerate the frequently impulses because of the variations of wind energy on the small stand-alone power system effectively.

Centralized Controller

This paper describes the development of a centralized controller to charge or discharge the battery storages that are connected to renewable energy sources. The centralized controller is able to assist, control, and manage the battery storage charging when excessive power is available from renewable energy sources. At the same time, the centralized controller also performs battery storage discharging when the connected load requires a power source, especially when the renewable energy sources are unavailable. Background studies regarding battery storage charging-discharging are presented in the introduction section. Also, generally developed charging-discharging methods or techniques were applied at the system level and not specifically to the battery storage system level. Due to the limited study on battery storage system charging-discharging, this paper reviews some of the similar studies in order to understand the battery storage charging–discharging characteristics as well as to propose a new conceptual methodology for the proposed centralized controller. The battery storage State-of-Charge (SoC) is used as the criterion to develop the conceptual centralized controller, which is also used as a switching characteristic between charging or discharging when only the battery energy storages are supplying the output power to the connected load. Therefore, this paper mainly focuses on the conceptual methodology as well as explaining the functionality and operationality of the proposed centralized controller. A summarized comparison based on the studied charging–discharging systems with the proposed centralized controller is presented to indicate the validity of the proposed centralized controller.

Renewable energy production needs serious attention in highly traditional, inefficient, and energy-dependent countries like Nepal. Moreover, the option of an effective renewable energy technology that is economically feasible and environmentally acceptable is a topic of interest due to the availability of various types of renewable energy sources in Nepal. Among other renewable energy sources like micro hydro, solar, biogas etc, very few studies had been conducted on wind energy sources in Nepal and those few studies also focuses mostly on large scale wind farming. So, this study analyzes the suitability of distributed wind energy production in Tila village of Jumla district in the western part of Nepal. Five-year (2015-2019) wind speed data were examined to obtain wind power density and energy density. Two-parameter Weibull probability density function was used to evaluate these two quantities. The annual Weibull parameters k and c of 1.73 and 4.21 m/s were obtained to calculate 43.79 W/m2 power density and 378.37 kWh/m2 energy density. This study also provides the economic evaluation of a 100 kW distributed wind energy system, and the technical and economic aspects of the proposed system are compared with the corresponding characteristics of the existing renewable energy systems, i.e., micro hydropower and solar power. The study shows that when there is not enough sunlight for the solar PV system and not enough water flow coupled with maintenance problems in the micro hydropower system, the distributed wind energy system may function as a substitute system.

Hybrid Renewable Energy System

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, in the context of climate change, efficient energy management and increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix are helping to reduce greenhouse gases. In this research, we present the energy system and its management and the possibilities of its development through the example of an ecovillage. The basic goal of such a community is to be economically, socially, and ecologically sustainable, so the study of energy system of an ecovillage is especially justified. As the goal of this community is sustainability, potential technological and efficiency barriers to the use of renewable energy sources will also become visible. Our sample area is Visnyeszéplak ecovillage, where we examined the energy production and consumption habits and possibilities of the community with the help of interviews, literature, and map databases. By examining the spatial structure of the settlement, we examined the spatial structure of energy management. We formulated development proposals that can make the community’s energy management system more efficient.
