Abstract

This paper presents an applications case study and comparison of performance results between two computational models for simulating the performance of hybrid power systems. The first model, HYBRID2, was developed at the University of Massachusetts under National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) sponsorship. The second model, SOMES, was developed at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Both models have been designed to predict the technical and economical (life cycle cost) performance of hybrid power plants that typically might be comprised of renewable energy sources, a battery bank, and a diesel generator. A South American (Brazil) based hybrid power system used to power a remote telecommunications system was used for the applications case study. A final system configuration be used as a basis for model prediction comparison was established as a result of HYBRID2 parametric evaluation. Both codes yielded similar performance results, and this work points out that the predicted performance discrepancies are due basically to different subcomponent models and differences in control strategy. The generalized nature of this work is intended to be of interest to engineers involved with the design and analysis of hybrid power systems.
