Wind-solar hybrid for outdoor communication base stations
The invention relates to a wind and solar hybrid generation system for a communication base station based on dual direct-current bus control, comprising photovoltaic arrays, a wind-power
In this paper, we propose a parameterized approach to wind and solar hybrid power plant layout optimization that greatly reduces problem dimensionality while guaranteeing that the generated layouts have a desirable regular structure. Thus far, hybrid power plant optimization research has focused on system sizing.
The design considerations of the stand-alone wind and solar plant apply to the hybrid plant in addition to those imposed by their colocation, such as sizing and the effect of wind turbine shading on solar energy performance. The turbines' layout, wind conditions, and operations are key to the wind plant's annual energy production (AEP).
Although it is presented in this paper as resilience applied to a wind–solar-storage hybrid plant, a similar problem formulation could be applied to single technology or hybrid power plants with different technologies, such as wind or solar coupled with a traditional, dispatchable generation source such as natural gas.
There was no maximum total capacity constraint applied to the plant. The default minimum required power production was 10 MW, with an outage duration of 12 h. The outage was modeled to start at 8:00 in early May; thus, the baseline outage of 12 h extended from 8:00 to 20:00, during prime solar producing times of day.
