Abstract

This paper focuses on hybrid electricity generation systems as an alternative to solo dependency on diesel generators for remote location such as Rigolet island, Labrador. The potential of extracting PV (photovoltaic) and wind energy to generate electrical power along diesel generators is scrutinized in this study. This paper provides effective modeling, sizing, and system architecture to reduce carbon footprint and operational costs. To make the most economical and reliable system design, this paper employs the optimization feature of the HOMER Pro. This software is used for the steady state analysis of the systems. In addition, MATLAB Simulink is used to represent the hybrid system for dynamic simulations. The stability and power output of the system are analyzed under varying load conditions. Overall, this paper covers simulation results and comprehensive system details.
