Abstract

In recent years, renewable resources have become an important alternative to increase the capacity of power generation. Among the resources available, the energy in the oceans have attracted more interest and experiencing a period of strong development. Wave energy is the one that is currently closest to reach a stage of technical and economic maturity. In this process, computational tools to facilitate evaluation of the feasibility of power systems including ocean wave power plants are critical. This paper presents the use of software Homer, version Legacy, for evaluation of technical and economic feasibility of hybrid energy systems including contribution of wave energy. Homer is a software designed for the optimization of micro power systems that has a very broad spectrum of applications. A case study in southern Brazil is presented, studying the inclusion of an ocean wave power plant in a wind biodiesel hybrid system and showing the functionality of Homer for this purpose.

用荷马模拟海浪发电厂

近年来，可再生能源已成为增加发电能力的重要替代能源。在现有的资源中，海洋中的能源引起了更多的关注，并经历了一个强劲的发展时期。波浪能是目前最接近技术和经济成熟阶段的一种能源。在此过程中，用于评估包括海浪发电厂在内的电力系统可行性的计算工具至关重要。本文介绍了使用软件Homer，版本Legacy对包括波浪能贡献在内的混合能源系统的技术和经济可行性进行评估。Homer是一款专为优化微型电力系统而设计的软件，具有非常广泛的应用范围。介绍了巴西南部的一个案例研究，研究了在风力生物柴油混合系统中包含一个海浪发电厂，并展示了Homer在这方面的功能。版权所有©2014国际能源与环境基金会

期刊介绍： International Journal of Energy, Environment, and Economics publishes original research papers that shed light on the interaction between the utilization of energy and the environment, as well as the economic aspects involved with this utilization. The Journal is a vehicle for an international exchange and dissemination of ideas in the multidisciplinary field of energy-environment-economics between research scientists, engineers, economists, policy makers, and others concerned about these issues. The emphasis will be placed on original work, either in the area of scientific or engineering development, or in the area of technological, environmental, economic, or social feasibility. Shorter communications are also invited. The Journal will carry reviews on important issues, which may be invited by the Editors or submitted in the normal way.
