Methodology to Size an Optimal Stand-Alone PV/wind/diesel/battery System Minimizing the Levelized cost of Energy and the CO2 Emissions

Year: 2012

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to propose a methodology for designing a stand-alone hybrid PV/wind/diesel/battery minimizing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCE) and the CO2 emission using genetic algorithm. The methodology developed was applied using solar radiation, temperature and wind speed data, collected on the site of Gandon, located in the northwestern of Senegal. Obtained results were presented as optimal Pareto front. The optimal number of devices, the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCE) and the CO2 emission were determined for each solution. An influence study of the size of diesel generator on the optimal configuration was carried.
