Abstract
Power systems are increasing to feed the power for the domestic, commercial, and industrial loads, where electricity is considered the backbone of any development plan. Continuous increasing of the power demand leads to much complex problems facing who are responsible of operation of the power plants. Many power interruption, poor power quality, low source durability, low system reliability, and high emission are the main resulted problems from the continuous increasing of the power demand. Many ideas are defined in order to resolve these problems totally or partially by the power systems researchers. Micro-grids, and the hybrid power generation systems are the main aspects, which are introduced to solve some of the above mentioned problems.
In this thesis, the hybrid power generation systems (HPGSs) have been studied, where this topic is considered new and eminence idea in order to improve the performance of electrical power systems. These systems increase the using of the renewable energy sources, which could reduce the system pollution, also these systems may share the loads with utility grid. Many problems might be solved if the demand stress is released, where quality of the power source, reliability, and durability are improved by increasing the penetration of the renewable sources. A new contribution in the design of these systems (HPGSs) is introduced, where the natural gas distribution network is involved in the configuration of the HPGS. This network is applied to supply the natural gas as a fuel to the gas turbine, which is considered the main element of the HPGS, in addition to the renewable sources. Lastly, the wind energy system, photovoltaic system, and storage battery system are combined with the gas turbine to form the WT-PV-SB-GT. The utility grid is also included with this configuration to form the proposed hybrid system, which is WT-PV-SB-GT-UG. Many meta-heuristic optimization techniques are applied to design this system in different weather conditions; winter and summer. These techniques are; cuckoo search, firefly, flower pollination, grey wolf, ant lion, moth-flame, dragonfly, whale, multi-verse, and sine cosine algorithms. MATLAB software has been used to execute the optimization process using the mentioned algorithms and a detailed comparison is presented between the results of applying the above mentioned techniques to show their effectiveness and robustness.
