This paper reports the application of a hybrid metaheuristic — a combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) methods, in midscale thermal power dispatch problem with transmission losses. The hybrid technique applies ACO over output obtained by PSO to get an economic load dispatch (ELD) solution close to global optima. In the present study the hybrid technique...
Strict regulation on emissions of air pollutants imposed by the maritime authorities has led to the introduction of hybrid microgrids to the shipboard power systems (SPSs) which acts toward energy efficient ships with less pollution. A hybrid energy system can include different means of generation such as renewables (e.g., solar PV, wind power) and conventionals (e.g., diesel engines) as well as energy...
The penetration of renewable power plants in the global electricity mix is reaching significant levels, and power system operators are adapting their grid codes, so that renewable generators do not alter the operation of the grid, preventing the introduction of additional disturbances and contributing to the control of the power system. In this context, hybrid solar plants arise as a tradeoff solution...
Energy saving is a main concern of telecom operators to reduce TCO and improve market competition. Normally, single generator reaches the best fuel consumption rate when it works under 70%–85% loading rate. But in certain scenarios, the capacity of existing generator is not enough, thus more than one generator will work in parallel in the same hybrid power supply system; for instance in site sharing...
This paper presents a new design of hybrid Petri net sliding mode control (PNSMC) applied to reach the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a variable speed wind energy conversion system. To solve the main and major undesired phenomenon faced by conventional sliding mode control, the high frequency oscillations known as chattering, the design of a hybrid controller based on Petri network sliding...
This paper deals with the design and application of an emulator to reproduce the dynamic behavior of of tidal turbines to feed a remote load. The proposed emulator provides a flexible platform to investigate different operating conditions of the tidal turbine, and supervise the system variables in real time. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed emulator and illustrate...
The hybrid power system consisting of new energy inverters and diesel generators has become a typical case of independent power systems in remote areas. Aiming at the problem of generator overload caused by sudden load applying in such systems, this paper proposes a novel emergency control strategy which increases the inverter output power according to the changing rate of system frequency. This control...
Hydrokinetic river (HKT) and photovoltaic (PV) panels systems are of the promising technologies to be used for remote rural electrification. In rural areas with access to water and solar resources, renewable generation is a promising option for electrification. This paper presents a study by two sizing methods for a stand-alone hybrid generation system integrating renewable energies (PV panels and...
The inadequate power supply in Nigeria necessitates the implementation of other power generation media to augment the shortage and reduce heavy reliance on the National Grid. However, the cumbersome nature of these energy systems design which comprise equipment selection, renewable energy resources data collection, mathematical analysis and technical/ economic analysis is hectic and time consuming;...
The paper includes simulation results of the Hybrid Excited Claw Pole Generator with skewed and non-skewed permanent magnets. The test machine has claw poles on two rotor sections, between which an excitation control coil is placed. The novelty of this machine is existence of non-skewed permanent magnets on claws of one part of the rotor and skewed permanent magnets on the second one. The paper presents...
This paper presents a new approach for generation source management in a dc microgrid, which uses a hybrid isochronous-droop (HID) control strategy to overcome the inherent drawbacks of traditional droop control and achieve a performance more towards that which can be achieved by communication-based distributed or centralized control schemes. In particular, the approach allows the number of dc sources...
Recent advances in enabling technologies such as power electronics, electric hybrid systems, energy storage systems, energy management systems, variable frequency drives, and DC bus duct systems have allowed electrical system designers an opportunity to develop new electrical system designs with distributed DC systems that can be optimized in terms of fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, enhanced system...
To meet the increasing electricity demand in the island of Indonesia, especially in areas that are lack access of electricity, it would be beneficial for these these islands to produce electricity using local potential renewable energy sources. In this study, Papua Province, the eastern region of Indonesia with 28 Districts, where 2,114 villages do not have electricity access was taken as the region...
Hybrid between PV and Generator with battery is one common technology that has been used in the world due to meet the system with the presence of renewable energy. These systems are typically used in isolated area or areas away from the grid. In this paper the hybrid PV-Generator with battery power plant will be designed for Aha Village in Morotai Island which is one island in Indonesia that located...
Many islands in China are far from the mainland and electricity is difficult to cover or the cost is high, due to this issue, the wind energy, wave energy and solar energy can be used to meet the demand of island power supply. However, the energy density of these renewable energy sources is low and the stability is poor, which may cause power supply instability. To deal with this issue, a multi-energy...
The stochastic nature of wind power generators and their possible outage are crucial issues which make them difficult to participate in electricity markets. However, demand side as a decent balancing resource can be used to compensate the challenges of lack of supply-demand balance or state of outage for wind generators. This paper firstly models the outage of wind generators. Then an offering strategy...
The Cretan power system is the largest autonomous power system in Greece, and it consumes around 5% of the total Greek electricity demand. It contains a large number of conventional power stations that are combined with significant installed capacity of wind farms and photovoltaics. This paper is evaluating the effect of a large wind-hydro hybrid power station installation in this system. The analysis...
Solar photovoltaic systems and hydropower generators play a major part in the utilization of renewable energy.

This paper presents a control technique of power management in the stand alone hybrid system by using Flywheel Energy Storage (FES). FES helps the system to regulate the load power, when the generated energy from renewable source has less than consumed energy. FES supplies the insufficient energy to the load power while the generated energy source has greater than the load power; the excess energy...
