BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS OF A HYBRID POWER SYSTEM UNDER TWO ENERGY MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Abstract

The paper aims to analyze the operational behavior of a solar-Diesel hybrid power system under two energy management strategies: load following and cycle charging. The economic effects of the two dispatch strategies were also studied. The possibility of optimizing HPS under the load following strategy was also analyzed, the results being presented both from a technical and economic point of view. Finally, the conclusions regarding the particular case of hybrid power system studied were drawn.
