Small Wind Turbine Hybrid System for Remote Application: Egyptian Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this research is to study the technical and economic performance of wind/diesel/battery (W/D/B) system supplying a remote small gathering of six families using HOMER software package. The electrical energy is to cater for the basic needs for which the daily load pattern is estimated. Net Present Cost (NPC) and Cost of Energy (COE) are used as economic criteria, wh measure of performance is % of power shortage. Technical and economic parameters are defined to estimate the feasibility of the system under study. Optimum system configurations are estimated for two sites. Using HOMER software, the simulation resu that W/D/B systems are economical for the assumed community sites as the price of generated electricity is about 0.308 $/kWh, without taking external benefits into considerations. W/D/B systems are more economical than W/B or diesel alone system $/kWh for W/B and 0.357 $/kWh for diesel alone. Keywords—Optimum energy systems, Remote electrification, Renewable energy, Wind turbine systems.

Using the renewable energy is the better option to supply demined in the standalone area. World’s most fast-growing renewable energy resource is the wind energy. One of the main disadvantages of this system, however, is that naturally variable wind speed causes power fluctuation problems at the load side. Besides, long-term storage of power generated by wind turbines is considered as a limitati...
متن کاملDevelopment of a mathematical model to design an offshore wind and wave hybrid energy system
Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...
