Design and simulation of a hybrid energy system for Ramea Island, Newfoundland

Renewable energy systems are widespread due to declining costs and rising efficiency. This research examines the design, optimal sizing, and control of a Hybrid Power system to replace the current wind-diesel system of Ramea Island. The wind turbines of the current system are now not operational. It also has a hydrogen-based storage system and generator that is not operational. In this research, we proposed a new storage system model for the Island. The proposed Hybrid energy system, includes Solar powered PV, Wind turbines, Battery storage, and a Diesel generator. The target system is analyzed in different applications like RETScreen, REopt, and Homer Pro. MATLAB Simulink is used for dynamic modeling of the proposed system design. All the components are designed and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. Design and simulation results are included in this paper.
