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 ferry with hybrid power system in GaBi. The cradle to grave of the ferry is modelled referring to a practical ship life: construction, operation, maintenance and dismantling. Several operation cases with different power distributions were investigated with three phases: transiting, manoeuvring and at slip. The study indicated the most cost-effective power distribution between gen-sets and batteries and concluded the significant impacts on energy consumption and environment during the life cycle of a hybrid system. © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

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...
Assessment of renewable energy based micro-grids for small communities
Sadati, S.M. Sajed; Taylan, Onur; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-7)
Deploying renewable energy systems to supply electricity faces many challenges related to cost and variability of the renewable resources. One possible solution to these challenges is to hybridize renewable energy systems with conventional power systems and include energy storage systems. In this study, the feasibility analysis of two cases for electricity generation systems as (i) photovoltaic (PV)-battery-pumped hydro system (PHS) and (ii) PV-wind-battery are presented as a Renewable Energy Micro-Gr...

With the aim for higher economical efficiency, considerable and radical changes have occurred in the worldwide electricity sector since the beginning of 1980s. By that time, the electricity sector has been controlled by the state-owned vertically integrated monopolies which manage and control all generation, transmission, distribution and retail activities and the consumers buy electricity with a price set by these monopolies in that system. After the liberalization and restructuring of the electricity powe...
Optimal mix of a solar, wind, and fuel cell hybrid residential system
Chehab, Khalil; Fahrioğlu, Murat; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2018-1)
Nowadays, supplying electrical power using renewable energy systems faces problems due to the high cost and unreliability of those systems. With the variability of renewable energy sources, a possible way to provide electricity is by combining different renewable sources in one hybridized system. This study is about optimizing and testing the feasibility of different hybridized systems including solar, wind, and fuel cell systems. The study will include on-grid and off-grid optimal solutions for a case stud...
