Hybrid Power Systems and Renewable Energy
The report covers the basic information on hybrid power systems utilizing renewable energy sources such as sun power and wind power, and includes an analysis of photovoltaic hybrid power systems, wind hybrid power systems, and many others.
Hybrid power systems are combinations of two or more energy conversion devices (e.g., electricity generators or storage devices), or two or more fuels for the same device, that when integrated, overcome limitations that may be inherent in either. Wind turbines and solar panels are the most well-known of the renewable energy devices used in hybrid power systems.
Hybrid systems can produce synergistic benefits in which the "whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Hybrid systems are potentially very cost-effective solutions to rural AC electricity needs. For low load applications (< 10 kWh/day), wind power/photovoltaic hybrid systems are very attractive, meaning that solar panels and wind turbines are used. For larger applications, wind power/diesel hybrids are attractive, as long as sufficient wind power can be generated.
Other Topics covered in this report include: Fuel Cell/Gas Turbine Hybrid Systems; Geothermal Application of Hybrid Power Plants; Solar Panel Hybrid Systems; and Case Studies of and Major Players in Hybrid Power Systems.
