Abstract

One of the priority objectives faced by the Russian electric power industry is supplying power to decentralized areas. These areas include the regions of the Far North and the Far East, which are characterized by remoteness from the unified energy system, low population density in vast territories, weak transport links, and undeveloped industry. In view of these features, it can be concluded that it is economically unprofitable to connect such consumers to the unified energy system. The use of renewable energy sources is the most promising solution to this problem. This, in particular, was noted by the President of Russia V.V. Putin during the “Russian Energy Week”: ‘Wind power, of course holds promise as a method for solving the problem of supplying electricity to the population, but it would be more correct to talk about the integrated use of alternative energy sources....’

Recently, the idea of using hybrid energy generation systems has become a priority issue in considering the electrification of isolated regions. Calculations have shown that such systems are more reliable and economically profitable in comparison with the generation of energy from only one of the sources. The use of combined energy generation systems is dictated by several factors, the main of which is that individual sources of renewable energy are variable in nature, which entails difficulties in ensuring uninterrupted power supply. Such problems do not arise in the case of using hybrid systems.

The possibility of using a load distribution control strategy for a hybrid system consisting of photovoltaic panels, a diesel generator, and storage batteries, and operating according to a specified load schedule with the known battery charge/discharge cycles is considered. It is pointed out that the HOMER software package is a suitable tool for carrying out an optimization analysis regarding the technical, economic, and environmental factors of the proposed systems, taking into account the load variation pattern, battery charge/discharge cycles and distributed load. By using this software, it is possible to select the most optimal control strategy for combined power supply systems that allows, along with improving their reliability, better efficiency and longer service life to be obtained.
