研究目的
To analyze the effects of different storage technologies on a hybrid renewable energy system composed of photovoltaic, hydrokinetic and diesel generator, focusing on indicators such as Net Present Cost, Cost of Energy, unmet load, and CO2 emissions.
研究成果
The vanadium redox flow batteries system presents a lower variation of the minimum state of charge (SOC) in relation to the net present cost (NPC) and offers a viable solution for reducing CO2 emissions. The system composed of hydrogen and fuel cell presents the lowest variation in NPC. The study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate storage technologies and dispatch strategies to optimize the performance and cost-effectiveness of hybrid renewable energy systems.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific conditions of the selected area (Nuevo Rocafuerte, Ecuador) and the assumptions made regarding the load profile and renewable resources. The analysis does not consider potential future technological advancements in storage technologies or changes in energy demand patterns.
