Abstract
Integrating wind generation, photovoltaic power, and battery storage to form hybrid power systems has been recognized to be promising in renewable energy development. However, considering the system complexity and uncertainty of renewable energies, such as wind and solar types, it is difficult to obtain practical solutions for these systems. In this paper, optimal sizing for a wind/PV/battery system is realized by trade-offs between technical and economic factors. Firstly, the fuzzy -means clustering algorithm was modified with self-adapted parameters to extract useful information from historical data. Furthermore, the Markov model is combined to determine the chronological system states of natural resources and load. Finally, a power balance strategy is introduced to guide the optimization process with the genetic algorithm to establish the optimal configuration with minimized cost while guaranteeing reliability and environmental factors. A case of island hybrid power system is analyzed, and the simulation results are compared with the general FCM method and chronological method to validate the effectiveness of the mentioned method.
期刊介绍:
This comprehensive journal provides the latest information on rotating machines and machine elements. This technology has become essential to many industrial processes, including gas-, steam-, water-, or wind-driven turbines at power generation systems, and in food processing, automobile and airplane engines, heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, and chemical or petroleum refining. In spite of the importance of rotating machinery and the huge financial resources involved in the industry, only a few publications distribute research and development information on the prime movers. This journal is the first source to combine the technology, as it applies to all of these specialties, previously scattered throughout literature.
