Small autonomous power systems (SAPS) that include renewable energy sources are a promising option for isolated power generation at remote locations. The optimal sizing problem of SAPS is a challenging combinatorial optimization problem, and its solution may prove a very time-consuming process. This paper initially investigates the performance of two popular metaheuristic methods, namely, simulated...
The domestic consumers in the remote areas not served by the main electrical grid network, diesel generators are the usual choice for power supply. As a result, plenty of servicing and maintenance needed onto these diesel generators. Thus, we proposed an idea of introducing wind turbine working together with the diesel generators to form a hybrid power system. This paper presents the performance analysis...
This paper demonstrates that optimal selection of renewable power generators and energy storage devices in a grid-connected micro-grid, in conjunction with an optimal dispatch strategy, can significantly reduce the micro-grid lifetime cost and emission. The paper presents a mathematical model and optimization algorithm to identify the optimal micro-grid configuration (in terms of the installed capacities...
A microgrid power system is required to be controlled by electric power energy flowing through the interconnected power line that connects the microgrid and a large power system. Load dispatch for power sources in the microgrid is required, but large scale SCADA is not anticipated. This paper proposes an application of a mobile agent technology for the electric power output control. The reason is...
A well designed hybrid energy system can be cost effective, has a high reliability and can improve the quality of life in remote rural areas. The economic constraints can be met, if these systems are fundamentally well designed, use appropriate technology and make use effective dispatch control techniques. The first part of this tri-series paper, presents the analysis and design of a mixed integer...
