Energy is one of the most important factors in the socioeconomic development of a country. In a developing country like Malaysia, the development of islands is mostly related to the availability of electric power. Power generated by renewable energy sources has recently become one of the most promising solutions for the electrification of islands and remote rural areas. But high dependency on w...

102 AbstractThis paper describes a commercial farmland application in Nigeria. The objective was to demonstrate the technical, economic and institutional viability of renewable energy (Hybrid system) for commercial farmland as well as to allow local partners to gain experience with hybrid/renewable technology, resource assessment, system sitting and operation. A commercial farmland of 30Km (5km...

Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. Included in the definition is electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass, geothermal resources, and bio-fuels and hydrogen derived from renewable resources. Each of these sources has unique characteristics which influence how and where they are used. This paper presents the model...

With the increasing penetration of renewable energy in power systems, fluctuation of renewable energy power plants has great influence on stability of the system, and renewable power curtailment is also becoming more and more serious due to the insufficient consumptive ability of local power grid. In order to maximize the utilization of renewable energy, this paper focuses on the generation sch...

Energy consumption in the buildings is responsible for 26% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions where cooling typically accounts for over 50% of the total building energy use. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential for reducing the cooling systems’ environmental footprint with applications of alternative renewable energy source. Three types of cooling systems, water cooled, a...

This paper is the second of a two part study that analyses the technical and financial performance of particular, recuperated engine systems. This second paper examines the financial performance of two hybrid (renewable/fossil), chemically recuperated power plants. One of these plants uses the combustion of biomass as the renewable energy input. The other assumes that solar thermal energy is us...

The main objective of this study is to discuss the economical and the environmental analysis of a net zero energy (NZE) tourist village in Alexandria, Egypt, by maximizing the renewable energy fraction and minimizing the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The hybrid photovoltaics (PV)/wind/diesel/battery system is found to be the optimum hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) for the proposed tou...

A stand-alone system is defined as an autonomous system that supplies electricity without being connected to the electric grid. Hybrid systems combined renewable energy source, that are never depleted (such solar (photovoltaic (PV)), wind, hydroelectric, etc.) , With other sources of energy, like Diesel. If these hybrid systems are optimally designed, they can be more cost effective and reliabl...

A photovoltaic (PV)/wind/battery/Generator-Set hybrid power system's energy dispatch is discussed in this research, along with the ideal solution. The optimization model enables generating devices to share appropriately. main goals are minimize fuel consumption and costs maximize usage of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). proposed simulation plan succeeds lowering because diesel generator only ki...
