Extensive increases in electricity cost added to the numerous power outages encountered in developing countries has led to the deployment of hybrid energy supplies that mainly ensure continuity of power supply while attempting a reduction of electricity generation cost. This paper, specifically deals with the cost optimization of electricity generation from a grid connected hybrid…

A method for optimal sizing of hybrid system consisting of a Photovoltaic (PV) panel, diesel generator, Battery banks and load is considered in this paper. To this end a novel approach is proposed. More precisely a methodology for the design and simulation of the behavior of Hybrid system PV-Diesel-Battery banks to electrify an isolated rural…

The demand for renewable energy sources such as waste pyrolysis plastic oil (WPPO), ethanol biofuel with high oxygen content is increasing globally. This study used blending of conventional diesel oil, waste plastic pyrolysis oil, ethanol and 2-ethyl hexyl nitrate (EHN) as additive. The purpose was to improve combustion, the ignition quality, and performance and emission…

In this research paper, a technical and economic-environmental study was developed to investigate the possibility of establishing various hybrid power systems with different operation modes. Grid-connected and standalone hybrid systems (solar-wind with storage batteries and diesel generators) have been realized in order to carry out a comparative analysis study of two configurations. These systems have…

Electrifying or connecting remote and isolated communities to the national grid is very difficult and expensive. This challenge is due to the geographic locations of these isolated communities and terrain that needs navigation when installing transmission lines to transmit power to the communities. This article presents a case study of the design of a hybrid…
