Techno-economical design study for a sustainable power station powered by simultaneity of wind, solar, and an integrated Li-ion battery

Our present-day society is utterly dependant on electricity. This dependence will only grow as electrification of sectors such as manufacturing, transportation and building heating takes off. Most of the electricity these days comes from conventional plants running on coal and natural gas. Despite that these are reliable and cheap, the...

Inventory and Modelling of Different Objective Functions and their Impact on Optimal Design of an Offshore Wind Farm

The design of an offshore wind farm (OWF) is multidisciplinary in nature as it involves the design of many disciplines such as the wake effects, support structure, electrical cables etc. For the optimal design of an OWF, an optimization procedure is required where all the disciplines are optimized simultaneously. The objective function plays a...
