Abstract

The design of a Wind/PV/Diesel/Battery hybrid power generation system is complex because of the randomness of renewable energy resources, load demand uncertainty and the non-linear characteristics. So the design problem for hybrid power generation system cannot be solved easily by classical optimization methods. In this paper, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is employed to optimize a wind/PV/Diesel/Battery hybrid system. Using the meteorological data with pollution emissions as constraint condition, the target of optimization is the lowest running cost and the high reliability of system. The results showed that the proposed algorithm could have decision variables as the type and size of wind turbines, the type and the capacity of photovoltaic cells as well as the capacity of the batteries.
