Renewable Microgeneration Systems Modeling and Efficiency Evaluation

The problem of reliable and high-quality power supply to remote and sparsely populated areas introduces significant challenges in the social, technical and economic aspects. The issue of diesel power plants electrical energy supply low efficiency due to the high cost of fuel delivery necessitates the use of renewable energy sources. This kind of power generation has a stochastic nature. Therefore, it is necessary to use adequate solar and wind energy modeling tools to ensure the power supply reliability. This article presents photovoltaic and wind power systems electrical energy production models as a part of microgeneration systems. The use of this systems provides higher cost effectiveness of isolated territories energy supply.
