The use of Multicriteria Comparative Analysis to the Selection of the Standalone Hybrid Power Generation System Based on Renewable Energy Sources

This article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the multi-criteria variants of the power of the recipient by hybrid power generation system consisting of wind, PV and energy storage electrolyzer-fuel cell. Variant I - source of electricity in the system are wind power plants, variants II, III, IV, V - source of electricity in the system are wind turbines and photovoltaic installation, variant VI-a source of electricity in the system is only photovoltaic installation. Variants II - V differ in the power values of the installed individual energy sources. As a benchmark marking criteria for the analyzed variants there have been adopted - the unit hydrogen consumption by hybrid power generation system (energy criterion), the unit cost of electricity generation (economic criteria), the unit emission of carbon dioxide (environmental criterion). The impact of weight value criteria on the final result of the multi-criteria analysis has been examined.
