Adaptive Control of Energy Flows in the Hybrid Power Supply System

Abstract

The power supply of objects not connected to centralized grids is traditionally carried out on the basis of diesel generators. The main disadvantage of these energy sources is the high fuel consumption. It can be compensated by using renewable energy sources and the creation of hybrid power supply systems. To increase the power supply reliability, it is proposed to perform an operational control of energy sources load capacity and to separate in time the starting regimes of powerful electric receivers. For remote rural areas, a significant non-recurrent cost for the acquisition and installation of generating, conversion and other equipment is a deterrent to the introduction of such power supply systems. One of the ways to solve this problem is to minimize the installed capacity of the hybrid power supply system's equipment due to the operational control of the load capacity of energy sources and the time-sharing of the starting regimes of powerful electrical receivers.
