Abstract

The current trend in energy sustainability and the energy growing demand have given emergence to distributed hybrid energy systems based on renewable energy sources. This study proposes a strategy for the optimal sizing of an autonomous hybrid energy system integrating a photovoltaic park, a wind energy conversion, a diesel group, and a storage system. The problem is formulated as a uni-objective function subjected to economical and technical constraints, combined with evolutionary approaches mainly particle swarm optimization algorithm and genetic algorithm to determine the number of installation elements for a reduced system cost. The computational results have revealed an optimal configuration for the hybrid energy system.
