Hybrid power systems provide cost-effective utilization of renewable energy but depend on the geographic location due to the variability of solar and wind resources. In this study, a hybrid PV/wind system is proposed for Lafarge cement factory in Al-Tafilah, Jordan. The hybrid system is sized based on maximizing the fraction of demand ma by the hybrid system (F-RES) with cost of electricity (COE) less than the grid tariff and with 100% renewable energy ratio to meet the renewable energy regulations in Jordan. Furthermore, the effect of the integration of Lithium-Ion bank batteries on the technical and economic feasibility is studied in addition to the effect of carbon social cost on the economic feasibility. The results show that the system with Lithium-Ion batteries is economically more feasible and has higher F-RES than the system without energy storage system. The proposed system size is 20.75 MW PV, 26 MW wind systems and 16.8 MWh Lithium-Ion batteries where such system has 62.53% F-RES, 0.203 USD/kWh COE, payback period of 3.44 years, net present value of 206.63 M$. In addition, the system will reduce the annual electricity bill of the factory by 21.58 M$ and the CO2 emissions by 71,373 tons.

Sizing of a Photovoltaic-Wind-Oil Shale Hybrid System: Case Analysis in Jordan
AL-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Fahrioglu, Murat (2018-02-01)
The integration between renewable energy systems (RESs) and oil shale system ensures reliable power generation source with a competitive energy generation cost when compared to costs of conventional systems. In addition, this integration will prevent considerable amount of CO2 emissions. This study aims to determine the size of a grid-tied hybrid system in Al-Tafilah, Jordan that maximizes the yearly overall fraction of demand met with levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) equal to or lower than the local co...

Deploying renewable energy systems (RES) to supply electricity faces many challenges related to cost and the variability of the renewable resources. One possible solution to these challenges is to hybridize RES with conventional power systems and include energy storage units. In this study, the feasibility analysis of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV)wind-battery hybrid system is presented as a microgrid for a university campus-scale community on a Mediterranean island. Models for PV and wind turbine syste...

Wang, Haibin; Oğuz, Elif; Jeong, Byongug; Zhou, Peilin (null; 2017-10-11)
Owing to high operation cost of traditional power systems and serious environmental situation, hybrid power system is increasingly attracting attentions. Applying Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, the objective of this paper is to evaluate and optimise the operational modes of hybrid system for a short-route ferry in Scotland, which combines generators and batteries and includes four operational modes based on the power requirements. A top-bottom design strategy is applied to build up the short-route fe...
