The Impact of Power Source Performance Decrease in a PV/WT/FC Hybrid Power Generation System on the Result of a Multi-Criteria Analysis of Load Distribution

Abstract

The article presents a mathematical model designed for scheduling cooperation between Hybrid Power Generation System HPGS and an electricity system viewed from a multifaceted perspective. The multifaceted approach consists in taking into account energy, economic, and environmental criteria in the calculation process. The considered HPGS is constructed of a photovoltaic installation PV, wind turbines WT, and energy storage in the form of an electrolyzer El coupled with a fuel cell FC. The model consists of energy analysis and multi-variant analysis of the decision-making. Cooperation scheduling is performed in a long-term period taking into account the decrease in performance of HPGS components during the years of its operation. The impact of the performance decline in HPGS devices on the final result of scheduling the work of HPGS in the electricity system is the main issue considered in this article. This matter has not been analyzed yet. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis of the impact of a decrease in the efficiency of selected HPGS components (PV, FC, and El) on the final effect of the simulation is presented.
