Renewable energy is the only known source that can suffice the global demand in a sustainable way while preserving human and environmental health. Fossil fuels offer an unparalleled ability to robustly transform simple ideas into lucrative businesses and operations despite its inherent devastation imposed to the ecosystem and energy security. Together, fossil fuels, renewable energy and battery storage technology, offer great promise for an improved quality of life inclusive of global access to environmentally pristine, uninterrupted energy. Hybrid systems can be designed to deliver clean, portable energy cost-effectively, efficiently and reliably while minimizing present-day economic and environmental impact. An improvement in battery storage technology is of paramount importance to design an optimal hybrid system necessary to meet peak demands and compensate for intermittency within renewable energy resources. Various battery types have been developed as the technology of choice for renewable energy applications but compatibility issues of different battery systems to renewable energy sources remain. This study provides a comparative analysis of battery storage systems and introduces a mathematical model for a photovoltaic-wind-diesel hybrid system integrating optimization and performance techniques along with an economic analysis that will be used for further study and future simulation.

Environmental Consequences

Every type of energy utilization for electricity generation has environmental consequences. The main consequences of burning fossil fuels and of nuclear power are well-known. Renewable energy sources (wind, solar, biomass, hydroelectric, geothermal, etc.) are generally thought of as harmless, but this doesn’t mean they have no environmental consequences at all. Most of them have a significant aesthetic impact and require large areas of land. Some also have a significant impact on the eco-system (birds, fishes, etc.). This paper summarizes the environmental issues caused by all kinds of renewable energy sources.

<span lang="EN-US">This paper investigates the performance of conventional boost converter, <br /> 2-phase interleaved boost converter and 3-phase interleaved boost converter for renewable energy applications especially for solar-powered energy. The advantages of using coupled inductors in interleaved boost converters include increased system efficiency, reduced core size, and also reduced overall current and voltage ripples which increases the lifetime of renewable energy resources. In this paper, the uses of boost converters have been focused explicitly on the interleaved DC-DC charging from a solar-powered battery into electric vehicle (EV) battery storage. Hence, this paper aims to investigate a suitable charging process mechanism from a photovoltaic (PV) battery storage system into EV powered battery system. Using the application of a boost converter with reduced ripple current and ripple voltage decreases switching losses and increases conversion efficiency. The simulation is carried out by using Simulink/MATLAB to evaluate the performance of each boost converter. The results successfully demonstrate the ability of the proposed charging system with an energy efficiency of 90%.</span>

The increase in global energy consumption and the expected exhaustion of traditional energy sources, especially in the last century, led to an increased search for alternative sources of energy.The use of renewable energy sources has become extremely important to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Due to the stochastic nature of the renewable energy sources such as the wind speed fluctuation and the intensity of solar radiation the stable operation of the systems base single renewable source can be problematic. But the using two or more of these sources results in higher stability than relying on a single source. For this reason, hybrid renewable energy systems have become an attractive solution in thefield of renewable energy. A hybrid energy system is a combination of two or more renewable energy sources that can enhance each another to increase the reliability of the supplied energy. The objective of this paper is investigation about the energy supplying improvement and the energy efficiency utilisation by hybridisation using two renewable energy resources: wind energy and solar energy with respect two different optimisation objectives: economical to reduce the net present cost and ecological to reduce CO2 emissions. Presented system has been implemented to supply a single household with an electric load.

Recent movements for the decarbonization of the electricity sector have become a priority for many countries around the world and will inevitably lead to the sharp decline of fossil-fuel-based energy. Energy from fossil fuels is to be replaced by renewable energy sources (RES), although the transition will neither be cheap nor smooth. One sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels and which will take a considerable share in the increasing supply of renewable energy resources is biofuels. There are various types of biofuels used in practice; however, biodiesels represent one of the most popular and widespread ones. This paper focuses as a case study on the byproducts of Jatropha curcas, a crop and a plant that is already used for biofuel production and which is subsequently employed in electricity generation in Jatropha curcas producing regions. This paper identifies the limitations and prospects of Jatropha curcas utilization. Also, Jatropha curcas is compared to other materials suitable for biomass generation. An economic analysis for a 2 MW biofuel powerplant was conducted incorporating various market-related risks. The study shows that at current prices, net profitability can be achieved using Jatropha curcas byproducts for producing electricity.

The economic growth and demographic progression in Saudi Arabia increased spending on the development of conventional power plants to meet the national energy demand. The conventional generation and continued use of fossil fuels as the main source of electricity will raise the operational environmental impact of electricity generation. Therefore, using different renewable energy sources might be a solution to this issue. In this study, a grid-connected solar PV-wind hybrid energy system has been designed considering an average community load demand of 15,000 kWh/day and a peak load of 2395 kW. HOMER software is used to assess the potential of renewable energy resources and perform the technical and economic analyses of the grid-connected hybrid system. The meteorological data was collected from the Renewable Resources Atlas developed by the King Abdullah City of Atomic and Renewable Energy (KACARE). Four different cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, namely, the cities of Riyadh, Hafar Albatin, Sharurah, and Yanbu were selected to do the analyses. The simulation results show that the proposed system is economically and environmentally feasible at Yanbu city. The system at this city has the lowest net present cost (NPC) and levelized the cost of energy (LCOE), highest total energy that can be sold to the grid, as well as the lowest CO2 emissions due to a highly renewable energy penetration. This grid-connected hybrid system with the proposed configuration is applicable for similar meteorological and environmental conditions in the region, and around the world. Reduction of some greenhouse gasses as well as the reduction of energy costs are main contributors of this research.

The Impact

By integrating renewable energy sources (RESs) with electric vehicles (EVs) in microgrids, we are able to reduce carbon emissions as well as alleviate the dependence on fossil fuels. In order to improve the economy of an integrated system and fully exploit the potentiality of EVs’ mobile energy storage while achieving a reasonable configuration of RESs, a cooperative optimization method is proposed to cooperatively optimize the economic dispatching and capacity allocation of both RESs and EVs in the context of a regional multi-microgrid system. An across-time-and-space energy transmission (ATSET) of the EVs was considered, and the impact of ATSET of EVs on economic dispatching and capacity allocation of multi-microgrid system was analyzed. In order to overcome the difficulty of finding the global optimum of the non-smooth total cost function, an improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm was used to solve the cooperative optimization problem. Case studies were performed, and the simulation results show that the proposed cooperative optimization method can significantly decrease the total cost of a multi-microgrid system.

The Impact

The utilization of renewable resources is growing, in part due to the environmental impacts caused by fossil fuels. The largest sources of renewable energy are wind and solar and many predict that these energy sources will be increasingly used for distributed generation. In this paper, the feasibility is examined of a grid-independent system applied for a remote area electrification in Binalood, Iran. Traditional power systems for remote or rural areas are based on fossil fuels. After addition of renewable energy resources, solar energy applications have become popular in remote energy systems. The recent study and research works show that adding other possible renewable energy resources such as wind, hydro and biomass could make a hybrid system more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Hence, in the present study, an overview of applied hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) for worldwide villages with special attention on Iran has been proposed to help present and future works for better achievement in this field. Furthermore sensitivity analyses are performed to determine the impact on performance of several key parameters: wind speed and fuel costs. HOMER was used to evaluate the feasibility of various hybrid systems. The results of a comprehensive feasibility data analysis along with its economic evaluation indicate that the wind-diesel hybrid system with battery storage is most efficient energy system for supplying this remote area's electrical energy demands.
