Are hybrid energy systems a viable alternative to power generation?
In this way, hybrid energy systems (HESs) count as an attractive alternative for power generation, especially in remote areas. Therefore, this article analyzes a case study of a hybrid photovoltaic-diesel system installed in the Tapajós-Arapiuns Extractive Reserve in the Brazilian Amazon region.
Is a hybrid PV system feasible?
Hybrid Photovoltaic-Diesel System The results obtained show that the hybrid system provided 85.6% of photovoltaic energy and 14.4% of the diesel generator, showing that the system is feasible and that the use of diesel was necessary only in times of peak consumption. The PV system produced an average of 8.15 kWh/day and generates kWh/year.
Can hybrid energy systems be used in remote areas of the Amazon?
Another contribution is that the results on the feasibility of using hybrid systems can be used by local entities to demand appropriate public policies for the region’s reality. The replication of this HES promotes a solution to expand the project to universalize access to electricity in remote areas of the Amazon.
What are the advantages of a hybrid energy system?
Hybrid systems with the use of photovoltaic and wind systems combined with diesel generators in autonomous HESs guarantee less dependence on fossil fuel, less emission of greenhouse gases, higher reliability, better quality, and less oscillation in the delivery of energy to the final load.
What are autonomous hybrid energy systems?
Autonomous hybrid energy systems can be used with isolated topologies or mini-grids in low or high voltage, single-phase or three-phase. The demand for power and the load to be installed is what governs the system specifications.
The results show that the diesel breakeven price is far below the current diesel oil spot price, which indicates that the hybrid system with photovoltaic cells and batteries is more economically feasible.
