Designing an Hybrid Integrated Energy System Including Renewable Resources for Real-time Electrical and Thermal Load Supply, Considering Electric Vehicle Charging Station

Renewable energy technologies have had a significant impact on the global electricity market by providing uninterrupted power supply. Using renewable energy to meet the load demands of a tourist complex with electric vehicle charging stations is an important area of study in developing countries. This research examines the technical and economic viability of grid and renewable energy systems for an environmentally-friendly tourist complex. The system is designed to enable power exchange between the grid and various energy components. The location is selected with favorable wind and solar potential in mind. This study evaluates various scenarios with different configurations to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, cost of energy (COE), and net present costs (NPC). The assessment considers factors like capital, replacement, decommissioning, operation, and maintenance costs. It conducts optimal power planning and a techno-economic-environmental analysis for a grid-connected hybrid renewable energy system comprising elements such as wind turbines (WT), photovoltaic (PV) systems, diesel generators (DG), boilers, converters, thermal load controllers (TLC), and battery energy storage systems (BESS). This approach is tested on a small-scale system in Manjil, Iran, using HOMER and GAMS software, focusing on its effectiveness in meeting sustainable electrical and thermal demands with renewable energy.
