Abstract:
A wind-diesel hybrid system
combines wind turbine(s)with diesel
generator(s) to obtain a maximum
contribution by the intermittent wind
resource while providing continuous
high quality electric power.

3
Objective:

Reduce system fossil fuel consumption

The more energy you use from your non-
renewable utility provider, the more these
non-renewable resources are wasted and the
more harm is done to the environment.

Introduction:
Wind power is expected to be economically
attractive, but wind power generation is
variable and unpredictable. The hybrid wind
power with diesel generation has been
suggested (Hunter, 1994) and (Lipmann, 1989)
to handle the problem above. A hybrid wind
diesel system is very reliable because the
diesel acts as a cushion to take care of
variation in wind speed and would always
maintain an average power equal to the set
point.

AC Based Hybrid System
•Low penetration systems -Wind acts as a negative load, very little control or
integration of wind turbines into the power system is needed.
•Medium penetration systems -Wind becomes a major part of the power
system but diesel engines still provide much of the system power control.
Additional components and limited supervisory control required to assist
diesels in maintaining power quality.
•High penetration systems -Completely integrated power system with
advanced control. Diesel generators shut off when not needed. Limited
operational control of system by plant staff.

•Generally easy integration with existing diesel system, little or no diesel

modifications required.

•Diesel engines provide all frequency, voltage and reactive power control

requirements.

•Switch gear would need to be modified to add turbines and turbine

control software installed.

•Modest fuel savings of up to ~20% possible

10
11
Medium Penetration System
•Diesel(s) are expected to operate at all times and provide main system

stability control.

•Will need devices to help control system frequency, eliminate excess energy

and provide VAR support.

•Secondary diesels may be shut off when not needed, reduces diesel operating

hours and fuel use.

•In high peak wind periods, primary diesel runs at low loading.
12
13
High Penetration System
•Use of wind allows all diesel engines to shut down during mid to high wind

periods, reducing fuel consumption and operation hours

•Other hardware used to maintain system voltage, frequency, and reactive

power requirements

•System controller continually monitors power system and dispatched

equipment as needed to maintain system integrity

• Reduced system operating costs.

• Reduced environmental impacts.

•Reduced fuel consumption .

•Can be the most economic option

where fuel is expensive and the renewable energy source is good.

• Increased Reliability

17
Technical difficulties:
•High cost:

Power in rural areas is always expensive, but many elements drive up the

cost of wind in rural areas.

•New Technology:

Wind-diesel technologies are relatively new, implementation in rural areas

can be operationally challenging.

18
Conclusions:
•Given good wind resource and adequate project density ,high penetration

wind-diesel systems can provide least life cycle cost of electricity in remote

communities.

•Isolated communities, mining sites and other industrial outposts need to

replace their expensive, polluting diesel generators with hybrid power systems

that use wind.
