Description
Summary:In this paper optimal designing of two hybrid photovoltaic/wind turbine (PV/WT) systems with different storage include battery and hydrogen is presented with objective of minimising cost of energy generation (COEG) and considering reliability constraint as deficit power probability of the system using improved salp swarm optimisation algorithm (ISSOA) for commercial centre area, for Iran country. Different hybrid systems are compared in view of cost and reliability and the optimal size is determined. The results show that the PV/WT with battery storage has lower COEG than PV/WT with hydrogen storage to supply the commercial centre and also its reliability is better than the system integrated with hydrogen. The average cost of per kW of load supply for the PV/WT system with battery and hydrogen storage is 0.216$ and 0.610$, respectively. Superiority of ISSOA is confirmed in comparison with conventional SSOA and particle swarm optimisation in hybrid systems designing.
