SIMULATION MODEL FOR DESIGNING A HYBRID ENERGY SYSTEM FOR RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION
Abstract
In remote, hard-to-reach areas, renewable energy resources such as the sun or wind are available and can be used to produce green electricity at competitive prices. The disadvantage is that we do not always have the source of energy available (sun at night or continuous wind). This disadvantage can be overcome by using hybrid combinations of two or more renewable energy sources together with the storage of the energy produced, thus ensuring the supply of electricity at very good performance levels and with low cost levels. Alternative energy sources can work in tandem to achieve high levels of efficiency and to improve the overall performance of the system. This research article summarizes the results obtained in a case study on the implementation of a hybrid energy system in providing electricity to a building with low energy demand. The optimal synergy between the solar and wind resources was studied, related to the availability of resources specific to the studied location. The combination of the two types of green technologies (photovoltaic panels and wind turbines) allows a much more balanced supply of electricity to the building during the day/night and at the change of seasons (summer/winter). The hybrid energy system analysed in the case study is able to power supply with 100% green energy the demand of the low energy residential building, having carbon dioxide emissions 80.27% lower than grid electricity.
