A hybrid approach for the efficient synthesis of renewable energy systems

摘要: Abstract An efficient synthesis method for renewable energy systems is presented that exploits synergies between heuristic- and optimization-based approaches. For this purpose, the RenewIslands has been integrated into a superstructure-based optimization approach. The resulting hybrid approach consists of two steps: First, heuristic-based equipment preselection identifies set promising candidate technologies. Next, preselected technologies are employed in to determine optimal system. heuristic systematically avoids excessively large superstructures, while subsequent ensures solution selected. proposed applied case Mljet Island, Croatia. A system synthesized requires 59% less investment costs compared derived by classical simulation. At same time, problem solved than 2 min. shown provide an route systems.
