Simulation of a wind generator coupled to adiesel generator

Abstract

The presntwork concerns a simulation of a combined wind generator system, a storage system and a diesel generator, designed to supply a household load located in Bouzaréah site. Furtheremore, the designed system must be able to satisfy the needs with some guarantee of autonomy. So, to ensure better management of the system, energy models have been developed for the determination of the power which can be provided by the sub systems under specified weather conditions. The simulation of the various sub systems was performed using MATLAB. A complementary study was developed through the HOMER software. Firstly, this study allowed us to size and select the most optimal system based on two parameters, namely the cost and effectiveness. Secondly from the environmental perspective, this study allowed us to highlight the role of the use of wind power in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
