Electricity supply in nonelectrified areas can be covered by distributed renewable energy systems. The main disadvantage of these systems is the intermittent and often unpredictable nature of renewable energy sources. Moreover, the temporal distribution of renewable energy may not match that of energy demand. Systems that combine photovoltaic modules with electrical energy storage (EES) can eliminate the above disadvantages. However, the adoption of such solutions is often financially prohibitive. Therefore, all parameters that lead to a functionally reliable and self-sufficient power generation system should be carefully considered during the design phase of such systems. This study proposes a sizing method for off-grid electrification systems consisting of photovoltaics (PV), batteries, and a diesel generator set. The method is based on the optimal number of PV panels and battery energy capacity whilst minimizing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for a period of 25 years. Validations against a synthesized load profile produced grid-independent systems backed by different accumulator technologies, with LCOEs ranging from 0.34 EUR/kWh to 0.46 EUR/kWh. The applied algorithm emphasizes a parameter of useful energy as a key output parameter for which the solar harvest is maximized in parallel with the minimization of the LCOE.

Abstract. An All Power Labs PP20 gasifier generation set (Berkeley, Calif.) was tested to evaluate its suitability for powering biomass conversion technologies (BCT) at remote forest operations sites. Feedstock of the species tanoak (), coast redwood (), and Douglas fir () were tested at moisture contents of 15% and 25% (wet basis). The PP20 was connected to a load bank with five different load profiles designed to simulate possible BCT loads. Two parameters of power quality, voltage variability, and frequency deviation, were determined to be within acceptable limits. The unit also successfully powered a remote biochar operation in Branscomb, California. Emissions of the PP20, when compared to diesel generator regulations, would meet non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) and NOX requirements but exceed the CO emissions limits by a factor of ten. The CO emissions could be reduced by adding a catalytic converter. The results indicate that it is possible to use a PP20 unit to provide electric power for the highly variable loads of a BCT system.

Many times, Armed Forces are deployed in bases in remote areas on the borders or Islands, which are far flung areas away from mainland. In many such cases, these areas do not have their power requirements through the main grid supply and entire power requirement of the deployment is supplied by diesel generators. These diesel generators have high environmental impact due to emission of greenhouse gases and are highly uneconomical as logistic sustenance of remote bases for supply of fuel is very challenging, Fossil fuel has to be supplied by vehicles, helicopters, boats or manually carried to hill tops. This increases the overall cost of deploying armed forces in remote areas. In recent years with the advancements in power electronic components and renewable energy, development in Microgrids (MGs) have shown a way to reduce dependency on main power grids. Hence, with the help of MGs, renewable energy can be used to fulfill power requirements of the armed forces deployed in remote places. In this work, a MG with capacity of 1MW has been designed keeping the special needs of armed forces as a major consideration. Solar power has been used as a primary renewable energy source in the proposed design. In order to mitigate the adverse effects of meteorological and extreme conditions on the solar power generation capacity, energy storage system in the form of batteries has also been provided. Batteries store power when excess power is generated from the photo voltaic (PV) system and discharge the power when power demand is higher than the PV generated power. Diesel generator sets have also been used to run critical loads, provide reliability and as backup to critical operations catering for outages, night time needs and un-expected meteorological conditions. MATLAB has been used to design and simulate the proposed MG. Working of the MG has also been demonstrated for varying meteorological and varying load conditions as well. The proposed design works satisfactory in all cases.

Abstract Reducing CO2 emissions is becoming one of the core targets for countries after the Paris agreement, which sets out a global framework to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. To meet this objective also oil and gas operators have started to engage in an important effort to reduce the CO2 emissions in their plants and facilities. From this perspective Saipem developed its Wind2Sub, a Wind Power for Long Subsea Tie-Back (LSSTB) concept, where its own pendular floating foundation solution, namely Hexafloat, can host a wind turbine generator (WTG), all the utilities needed for subsea field development and operation (power distribution, chemical storage and injection, control system) and a back-up energy system to compensate the intermittent production due to wind persistence, currently a diesel generator (DG). The present paper will explore new solutions to ensure the continuity of the energy supply from Saipem Wins2Sub, based on green technologies. This may be done by collecting the generated surplus energy from a renewable energy system, in this case from WTG to a topside or subsea power storage. By adopting an Energy Storage System (ESS), it will be possible to use this energy when production from wind is low or null. This concept will replace the diesel generators, or any carbon fuel, so that the whole system will become green self-sustaining, as an energy island, without CO2 emissions. The activities performed during the concept development are articulated through the following steps: a selection of two typical oil field scenarios where Wind2Sub solution can be applicable; screening of the current technologies to store energy and a selection of those viable to the two selected scenarios; wind conditions and WTG power analysis with estimation of the amount of the energy to be stored; preliminary design of the ESS; preliminary cost estimation. The study was carried out by using a digital tool developed by Moss Maritime in the context of a Proof of Concept based on Floating energy storage. The tool allows to evaluate the feasibility of a solution through modellization of different renewable energy scenarios, demand profiles, simulation of operation, pre-sizing of the systems and cost estimation (LCOE, LCOS, LCOH). The ESS combined with Saipem Wind2Sub will be described more thoroughly in the present paper through the explanation of the results achieved within the case studies.

Telecommunications industry requires efficient, reliable and cost-effective hybrid power system as alternative to the power supplied by diesel generator. This paper proposed an operational control algorithm that will be used to control and supervise the operations of PV/Wind-Diesel hybrid power generation system for GSM base station sites. The control algorithm was developed in such a way that it coordinates when power should be generated by renewable energy (PV panels and Wind turbine) and when it should be generated by diesel generator and is intended to maximize the use of renewable system while limiting the use of diesel generator. Diesel generator is allocated only when the demand cannot be met by the renewable energy sources including battery bank. The developed algorithm was used to study the operations of the hybrid PV/Wind-Diesel energy system. The control simulation shows that the developed algorithm reduces the operational hours of the diesel generator thereby reducing the running cost of the hybrid energy system as well as the pollutant emissions. With the data collected from the site, a detailed economic and environmental analysis was carried out using micro power optimization software homer. The study evaluates savings associated with conversion of the diesel powered system to a PV/Wind-Diesel hybrid power system.

Nowadays, renewable energy systems such as wind turbine generators and photovoltaic systems are introduced to power systems. However, the renewable energy system is influenced by weather conditions, and the generated power of the renewable energy system is deviated. For the provision of deviated power, the battery energy storage system is introduced to suppress the deviation of the frequency and voltage in power system. However, it needs the large capacity of a battery system, which increases the capital cost. In this paper, we propose a coordinated control strategy between the diesel generator and the battery system to reduce the capital cost of battery, inverter capacity and storage capacity. The proposed control system incorporates the H-infinity control theory, which enables intuitive controller design in frequency domain. Effectiveness of the proposed control system is validated by simulation results.
