Description
Summary:Nowadays, in order for the world to have a healthier environment, people has started to consider the green power technology. The wind energy and solar energy system are chosen in designing a hybrid renewable power system as they give minor impact on the environment. In addition, by maximizing the use of the renewable energy, the diesel generator in the system could also be reduced. Therefore, this paper will discuss on the optimization of the renewable energy hybrid system based on the component sizing and the operational strategy. The optimization software used is the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER).The sensitivity analysis is also performed to optimize the system in different combinations of renewable energy by using this software.
