Modeling and Optimum Design of a Hybrid Diesel -Wind-PV-FC Based Energy Generation System

In power systems, meeting the electricity demand of remote regions is an imperative issue. Considering economic aspects, reliability and pollution concerns, combination of diesel generator and renewable energy sources like wind turbines(WTs), photovoltaic (PV) systems and fuel cells (FCs) can be an effective way to meet the demand of off-grid loads. The micro grid system is energized with different renewable energy sources namely wind and solar PV array. However, a diesel generator (DG) set and a battery energy storage system (BESS) are also used to maintain the reliability of the system.
