Abstract

Renewable energy resources have become important to strategies for meeting industrial demands for power due to their various benefits when coupled with government incentives and public support. To obtain a reasonable compromise between capital investment costs and system reliability, a method of determining the optimal size of hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) components is needed. This study proposes a smart management approach to optimal sizing and power management of hybrid photovoltaic-wind turbine generation with hydrogen and battery storage, considering contemporary economics, system reliability, and environmental policies to meet the dynamic energy demands of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). A multi-objective approach based on a fuzzy–decision-making method is proposed to solve the optimization problem. Extended power-pinch analysis was applied to optimize the size of components and determine feasible electrical-storage capacity to tackle the dynamic power loads of the WWTP. A year of observations showed that an HRES has a high reliability level for energy loading up to 86% when supplying a dynamic demand, with acceptable environmental emissions and an economical budget.
