Summary: This study proposes a hybrid optimization method to assess the optimal energy mix of wind, photovoltaic, and battery for a hybrid microgrid system. The method combines Non-dominant Sorting Genetic Algorithm II and Grey Wolf Optimizer to minimize the total energy cost and loss of power supply probability. Comparative analysis shows that the proposed method outperforms other optimization algorithms in terms of convergence speed, reaching global minima, lower mean (for minimization objective), and higher standard deviation. The analysis also reveals that relaxing the loss of power supply probability can lead to an additional cost reduction.

Summary: In this study, an optimal sizing model is developed for a hybrid micro-grid system (HMGS) that includes solar photovoltaic, wind turbine, diesel generator, and battery. A tri-objective formulation considering techno-socio-economic factors is proposed to find the optimal size and configuration. Dynamic domain search employing a hybrid intelligent computational technique is used to improve the search efficiency. The best solution is identified using a fuzzy attainment module. The optimal sizing is analyzed considering the effect of selected optimization objectives, and multiple choices are offered to the designer based on preferences. The results show that a system with solar PV capacity of 78.44 kW, wind turbine of 95 kW, and a battery of 2 kW is the best option.

Summary: Hybrid traction power supply systems (HTPSSs) are being utilized for various purposes and their component sizing is crucial for their performance. However, many HTPSSs have been sized based on experience or simple calculations, resulting in resource wastage and pollution. This paper proposes a multi-objective optimal sizing scheme for HTPSSs for shunting locomotives, aiming to minimize costs, achieve lightweight goals, and reduce fuel consumption. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is found to be the most efficient method for this optimization problem. Additionally, a PSO-based two-layer optimization model is presented to further enhance the system's performance by simultaneously optimizing the sizing and threshold of the energy management strategy.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.
