Wind diesel hybrid power system
A wind-diesel hybrid power system combines diesel generators and wind turbines, [43] usually alongside ancillary equipment such as energy storage, power converters, and various control components, to generate electricity. [2] Hybrid power plants often contain a renewable energy component (such as PV) that is balanced via a second form of generation or storage such as a. . Wind–diesel power systems can vary from simple designs in which wind turbines are connected directly to the diesel grid, with a minimum of additional features, to more complex systems. The WDHS has three operation modes: Diesel Only (DO), Wind Diesel (WD) and Wind Only (WO). The latter mode is the only one resulting in substantial savings, as. . Initially research focused on how to integrate wind turbine systems with existing diesel electric systems. Research later broadened to modeling of multiple distributed energy options, storage options, and load. By combining wind power with diesel units within a dynamic test system, the challenge of balancing the inherent variability of wind power is met.
