Hybrid Power Systems

• Hybrid power systems use local renewable
  resource to provide power.
• Village hybrid power systems can range in size
  from small household systems (100 Wh/day) to
  ones supplying a whole area (10’s MWh/day).
• They combine many technologies to provide
  reliable power that is tailored to the local
  resources and community.
• Potential components include: PV, wind, micro-
  hydro, river-run hydro, biomass, batteries and
  conventional generators.
Agricultural Water Pumping

• Livestock watering at the Bledsoe Ranch Colorado,
  USA
• PV, Mechanical
  wind and diesel
  backup solves
  problems with
  seasonal
  variations in
  resource

Home Power Systems
• Systems do not have a dispatchable backup
  generator like most hybrids
• Very simple architecture:
   – Turbine, PV, Disconnects, Batteries
   – DC Loads or AC power through an inverter
• Primarily PV dominated for small loads, wind
  has potential at larger loads.
• In many instances a combination of PV and
  wind make most sense
• Can vary in size, power output

• Use of batteries to store renewable energy for
  use at night or low renewable times
• Generator used as backup power supply
• Mature market

Key Points of Large Hybrid Systems


 • Differences in Energy Storage
    – Long term energy storage: Larger battery bank to transfer
      energy from one time to another. Order of hours.
    – Short term power storage: Energy used for very short
      periods to provide grid stability and allow controlled diesel
      engine starting. Order of minutes.
 • Power Quality issues
 • System Control
    – DSP based advanced control is required
Power Balancing Alternatives

• Control wind generation: mechanical pitch
  control, electronic control, individual machine
  switching in multiple machine windfarms.
• Dispatchable Loads: Installations of controllable
  incremental loads like resistance heating to
  consume extra power.
• Load shedding where non-critical loads are
  temporarily shut off to quickly reduce system
  load.
More Power Control Alternatives

• Back-driving the diesel generator, a process
  where power is actually put into the generator to
  overcome the generator losses while keeping the
  generation running so that it can be loaded
  quickly. Installing systems, like block heaters, to
  allow quick starting of generators.
• Installation of a synchronous condenser or rotary
  converter, which is used to produce reactive
  power
• Installation of a capacitor bank to smooth out
  rapid power transients and partially correct the
  systems power factor
Conclusions

• Lots of options for the configuration of hybrid
  systems - Depend on load, resource, and costs.
• Medium penetration wind-diesel systems are
  operating in various isolated locations around the
  world. Instantaneous wind penetration levels
  exceeding 50% of load are common.
• Several high penetration systems, with and
  without energy storage, have been successfully
  demonstrated.
• High penetration systems are capable of
  prolonged diesel-off operation.

  • 38. Key Points of Large Hybrid Systems • Differences in Energy Storage – Long term energy storage: Larger battery bank to transfer energy from one time to another. Order of hours. – Short term power storage: Energy used for very short periods to provide grid stability and allow controlled diesel engine starting. Order of minutes. • Power Quality issues • System Control – DSP based advanced control is required
  • 39. Power Balancing Alternatives • Control wind generation: mechanical pitch control, electronic control, individual machine switching in multiple machine windfarms. • Dispatchable Loads: Installations of controllable incremental loads like resistance heating to consume extra power. • Load shedding where non-critical loads are temporarily shut off to quickly reduce system load.
  • 40. More Power Control Alternatives • Back-driving the diesel generator, a process where power is actually put into the generator to overcome the generator losses while keeping the generation running so that it can be loaded quickly. Installing systems, like block heaters, to allow quick starting of generators. • Installation of a synchronous condenser or rotary converter, which is used to produce reactive power • Installation of a capacitor bank to smooth out rapid power transients and partially correct the systems power factor
  • 41. Conclusions • Lots of options for the configuration of hybrid systems - Depend on load, resource, and costs. • Medium penetration wind-diesel systems are operating in various isolated locations around the world. Instantaneous wind penetration levels exceeding 50% of load are common. • Several high penetration systems, with and without energy storage, have been successfully demonstrated. • High penetration systems are capable of prolonged diesel-off operation.
