Abstract
This paper reports the performance of a 4-kW grid-connected
residential wind-photovoltaic system (WPS) with battery storage located
in Lowell, MA, USA. The system was originally designed to meet a typical
New-England (TNE) load demand with a loss of power supply probability
(LPSP) of one day in ten years as recommended by the Utility Company.
The data used in the calculation was wind speed and irradiance of Login
Airport Boston (LAB) obtained from the National Climate Center in North
Carolina. The present performance study is based on two-year operation.
(May 1996-Apr 1998) of the WPS. Unlike conventional generation, the wind
and the sunrays are available at no cost and generate electricity
pollution-free. Around noontime the WPS satisfies its load and provides
additional energy to the storage or to the grid. On-site energy
production is undoubtedly accompanied with minimization of environmental
pollution, reduction of losses in power systems transmission and
distribution equipment, and supports the utility in demand side
management. This paper includes discussion on system reliability, power
quality, loss of supply and effects of the randomness of the wind and
the solar radiation on system design
