Chapter 7: Microgrid and hybrid energy systems
Abstract
Despite depending upon a single energy source, hybrid energy systems (HESs) based on conventional and renewable energy sources, energy storage elements, and the load consumption in a single system offer promising advantages over a conventional power system. An HES is usually an off-grid system consisting of renewable energy technologies like solar, wind, micro-hydro, fuel cells, a biogas power plant, or a geothermal power plant, conventional energy sources like oil, gas, and coal power plants, energy storage technology, and load. Depending upon the availability of the renewable energy sources at the specific site, one or more renewable energy sources can be hybridized to manage the ...
