Optimal Integration Of Hybrid (Wind--Solar) System With Diesel Power Plant \Newline Using Homer, Muhammad Noman Siddique, Aftab Ahmad, Muhammad Kashif Nawaz, Syed Basit Ali Bukhari
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Most energy worldwide is supplied through conventional energy sources, such as thermal, hydro, and nuclear. There have been serious energy crises in the last couple of years and so it is essential to consider renewable energy sources. This paper proposes a cost-effective solution for integrating a wind--solar system with an existing diesel power plant of a grid-connected site at Taxila, Pakistan. In the case of nonavailability of power from the grid, this diesel power plant acts as a standby system. Three cases were considered in this paper: 1) using the diesel power plant during load-shedding hours; 2) assisting the system …

As a cost-effective and reliable alternative to supply remote areas, standalone hybrid energy systems (HESs) are recently under investigation to address various concerns associated with technical, financial, and environmental issues. This paper presents a comprehensive algorithm that can simultaneously optimize the component size, operation strategy, and slope of the photovoltaic panels of a standalone HES using an improved variant of particle swarm optimization (PSO), designated as the passive congregation PSO. A new operation strategy is proposed based on the set points of the control system. The optimization algorithm determines the optimal values of the set points to efficiently optimize the …
