A Simple Sizing Algorithm for Stand-Alone PV/Wind/Battery Hybrid Microgrids

In this paper, we develop a simple algorithm to determine the required number of generating units of wind-turbine generator and photovoltaic array, and the associated storage capacity for stand-alone hybrid microgrid. The algorithm is based on the observation that the state of charge of battery shou...
