Mathematical model of the hybrid wind-photovoltaic plant cost calculations

Abstract

The article is described a new approach that allows to find the optimal solution to the problem of hybrid plant cost calculations of low and medium power facilities based on renewable energy sources. The calculation is performed using a multivariate analysis of the obtained results. The need to search for the system optimal configuration with maximum capacity at minimum cost is determined by the major setback to use of renewable energy sources, such as the high cost of equipment. Initial data for math model as an example of the Hybrid Plant cost calculation was from nature conditions in Volgograd and cost equipment in the demonstration Zone of Volgograd State Agricultural University. The demo zone was created in the educational research and production center of University for conducting experiments on the self-generated power supply of the facility management.
