Seawater reverse osmosis desalination (SWRO) requires less energy compared with the distillation method and thus is an important technology except Middle Eastern countries whereenergy costs are higher. Recently, even Middle Eastern countries where the distillation method is still a major technology, have begun adopting the RO method in new desalinationplants in line with government ...

Hybrid PV/Wind power system can be used to generate electricity consumed in household. This paper presents the design of a stand-alone Hybrid PV/Wind energy system for a household in University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in Eastern Nigeria with a daily load of 5.2kwh/d. Solar and wind resources for the design of the system were obtained from the NASA Surface Meteorology and solar energy website a...

The inability of conventional energy sources to fully meet the rapidly increasing energy demands in today’s world has led to the growing importance of hybrid power generation systems that incorporate renewable energy sources. This work proposes an optimally designed multi-source standalone hybrid generation system comprising of photovoltaic panels, wind turbine generators, batteries and diesel ...

A hybrid energy system is a combination of renewable energy sources with back up, as well as a storage system used to respond to given load energy requirements. Given that the electrical output of each renewable source is fluctuating with changes in weather conditions, and since the load demand also varies with time; one of the main attributes of hybrid systems is to be able to respond to the l...

To maintain voltage stability of a power system STATCOM is better solution which can provide the required amount of reactive power under various disturbances. In previous work, STATCOM with various energy storage elements was discussed for voltage and power system stability. Apart from these previous works, this work proposes a new structure of hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for voltage st...

Harnessing energy from alternative energy source has been recorded since early history. Renewable energy is abundantly found anywhere, free of cost and has non-polluting characteristics. However, these energy sources are based on the weather condition and possess inherited intermittent nature, which hinders stable power supply. Combining multiple renewable energy resources can be a possible sol...

Abstract Supercapacitors have great power characteristics and can respond to high-frequency volatility high-power load of lithium batteries. In a hybrid energy storage system (HESS), the introduction supercapacitors is an effective scheme reduce pressure charge/discharge current fluctuation battery, which reflect high density batteries extend life To solve problem capacity configuration allocat...

A hybrid ship power system with fuel cell and storage batteries/supercapacitors can be developed by adding renewable energy sources. Adding PV to the enhances system's reliability dependability. However, a high-level control strategy is needed manage generated between photovoltaic array determine suitable time charge or discharge stored according load demand. The perfect solution using an intel...
