Abstract

Abstract In this article a mathematical programming model is developed for energy system design in remote areas. The energy system considered has two or three basic components: a photovoltaic unit, a diesel generator unit, and a battery storage unit. The objective of the mathematical programming model is to determine the optimal capacities of the system components that will minimize the overall cost while satisfying anticipated energy demand. Numerical examples with realistic system data are provided to illustrate the usefulness of the model developed. Keywords: hybrid systemsinteger programmingrenewable energy
