Abstract

The hybrid systems of renewable energy can contribute in a significant way to the durable development in several isolated areas. This paper discusses an optimization solution of an hybrid system of renewable energy. We consider the example of the combination of two common renewable energy resources namely thermal and biomass. We present the estimation of the energetic potential for each considered renewable energy resource that can be extracted from a given site; and then we propose their repartition in order to optimize the exploitation of these available resources while meeting the global specific energy demand. The general problem can be formulated as a problem of optimal allocation of limited resources constrained to meet specific demands. We consider two types of situations. The first type considers situations where the installed energetic capacity of each resource is continuous. The second type considers situations where the installed energetic capacity is only available as specific discontinuous units. The approach adopted to solve the first type uses the simplex linear programming method while for the second type; we use the integer linear programming method. We also present some examples to illustrate the proposed technique.
