Research Abstract

This paper shows an application of hybrid PV/wind energy and battery storage in the islanded area. This work’s main target allows the distributed energy resources to contribute efficiently in the economic feasibility and enhance the environmental impact of the hybrid renewable energy source. Several factors such as levelized cost of energy (COE), greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and loss of power supply probability are studied. A combined solution is to compromise the economic and environmental aspects via the Utopia point approach is investigated. The optimal configuration of the hybrid PV/wind along with battery-storage and diesel engine as secondary source is obtained via meta-heuristic optimizers: Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle-Swarm Optimization (PSO) and impartial comparison of the results with HOMER software. The results of Utopia point solution show that the PV (about 46%) and wind …
