Abstract

Hybrid systems can compensate the intermittent character of renewable energy sources and offer a higher overall energy efficiency. Their main interest is the possibility of energy autonomy that they permit since they do not depend on a single source. This paper discusses a new approach for designing a stand-alone hybrid system (photovoltaic, wind and battery) combining three objectives: power loss probability, life cycle cost and embodied energy for an optimal design. The simulation results are presented using Matlab/Simulink software and discussed with a comparison of developed methodology and an existing commercial tool (HOMER software).
