摘要: A study combining wind power with pumped hydro energy storage for the Jordanian utility grid is presented. Three solvers of Matlab optimization toolbox are used to find optimal solution cost in a combined on-grid system. Genetic algorithm, simulated annealing (SA), and pattern search (PS) solution. The GA 0.0955388 $/kWh economically feasible. This 28.7% lower than electricity purchased from conventional grid. discounted payback period recover total 10.271 years. suggested configuration shown be feasible by comparing it real measurements this case previous wind-only case. It that indicators improved. For instance, carbon dioxide emissions (ECO2) purchases reduced 24.69% 24.68%, respectively. Moreover, benefits adding storage, increasing number turbine units, reduces renewables (COERenewables). Therefore, economically, environmentally, technically more efficient alternative generation.
