Abstract


In this paper, a novel intelligent method is applied to the problem of sizing in a hybrid power system such that the demand of residential area is met and two hybrid systems are considered and the results are analyzed from the viewpoint of meeting the demand and total costs. Finally, the best system is selected. This study is performed for Ganje area in north-western Iran. The systems consist of fuel cells, some wind units, some electrolyzers, a reformer, a compressor, an anaerobic reactor and some hydrogen tanks. The system is assumed to be stand-alone and uses the biomass as an available energy resource.
