Genset-Solar-Wind Hybrid Power System of Off-grid Power Station for Rural Applications

L.E. Weldemariam · 2010 · Research Repository (Delft University of Technology)

Summary. This paper designs and evaluates hybrid power systems combining diesel generators, solar panels, and wind turbines for off-grid rural electricity. The researchers tested eleven different power management strategies using computer simulations to determine how each strategy affects system sizing, fuel consumption, battery life, and costs. They found that hybrid renewable systems become cost-competitive over their lifetime because diesel fuel costs eventually exceed the initial investment in renewable equipment.
