Chance constrained programming using non-Gaussian joint distribution function in design of standalone hybrid renewable energy systems
Kamjoo, Azadeh; Maheri, Alireza; Putrus, Ghanim A. - In: Energy 66 (2014) C, pp. 677-688
Performance of a HRES (hybrid renewable energy system) is highly affected by changes in renewable resources and therefore interruptions of electricity supply may happen in such systems. In this paper, a method to determine the optimal size of HRES components is proposed, considering...
