Simplified performance model for hybrid wind diesel systems

摘要

This paper describes the latest preliminary performance (or screening) model developed for hybrid wind/diesel systems at the University of Massachusetts. The corresponding computer code (Wndscreen3) allows one to rapidly evaluate the performance of wind/diesel systems with one or identical multiple wind turbines, one or more identical diesels, with or without energy storage. In addition to an overview of this model, the paper presents two examples of its use, including a comparison of performance results with hybrid2, a detailed model for hybrid system performance modeling.
