The present study offers technical and economical analyses of grid-connected hybrid power systems for a large scale production industry located in Bali. The peak load of observed system can reach 970.630 kW consuming on average 16 MWh of electricity a day. Software HOMER was utilized as the optimization tool.

Solar Wind Hybrid Generation System Integration with Gridijtsrd
Wind and solar energy are becoming popular owing to the abundance, availability and ease of harnessing the energy for electrical power generation. This paper focuses on an integrated hybrid renewable energy system consisting of wind and solar energies.

Fuzzy logic control of hybrid systems including renewable energy in microgrids IJECEIAES
With a growing demand for more energy from subscribers, a traditional electric grid is unable to meet new challenges, in the remote areas remains the extension of the conventional electric network very hard to do make prohibitively expensive. Therefore, a new advanced generation of traditional electrical is inevitable and indispensable to move toward an effective, economical, green, clean and self-correcting power system. The most well-known term used to define this next generation power system is micro grid (MG) based on renewable energy sources (RES). Since, the energy produced by RES are not constant at all times, a wide range of energy control techniques must be involved to provide a reliable power to consumers. To solve this problem in this paper we present a fuzzy logic control of isolated hybrid systems (HRES) including renewable energy in micro-grids to maintain a stability in voltage and frequency output especially in the standalone application. The considered HRES combine a wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) panels as primary energy sources and an energy storage system (ESS) based on battery as a backup solution. Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink environment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in decreasing the electricity bill of customer.
There is need for an energy storage device capable of transferring high power in transient situations
aboard naval vessels. Currently, batteries are used to accomplish this task, but previous research has
shown that when utilized at high power rates, these devices deteriorate over time causing a loss in lifespan.
It has been shown that a hybrid energy storage configuration is capable of meeting such a demand while
reducing the strain placed on individual components. While designing a custom converter capable of
controlling the power to and from a battery would be ideal for this application, it can be costly to develop
when compared to purchasing commercially available products. Commercially available products offer
limited controllability in exchange for their proven performance and lower cost point - often times only
allowing a system level control input without any way to interface with low level controls that are
frequently used in controller design. This paper proposes the use of fuzzy logic control in order to provide
a system level control to the converters responsible for limiting power to and from the battery. A system
will be described mathematically, modeled in MATLAB/Simulink, and a fuzzy logic controller will be
compared with a typical controller.

Abstract
Present day guided weapon systems, especially tactical class missiles use RF seeker, for target tracking towards terminal engagement. The seeker system including its antenna assembly will be onboard the missile. Due to the missile trajectory corrections, the seeker antenna pointing to the target may get disturbed resulting in track loss. To avoid this track loss, it becomes necessary to stabilize the antenna system in two planes. The fundamental role of stabilization loop in seeker application is to precisely follow the angular rate of the target. In order to achieve this requirement, it is essential to highly isolate the gimbaled antenna from the missile body motion due to the maneuvering of target or low frequency vibration during flight. However, the isolation ratio and stability margin of stabilization loop adopting the gimbaled platform with both low stiffness and heavy inertia are limited by mechanical characteristic such as low resonance frequency and its high magnitude. The selection of proper feedback sensors, modeling of the total system are key features of this project. In the end, the performance and the stability of designed stabilization loop are demonstrated using simulation in both frequency and time domain. The Hardware for the system is under realization by the Industry. The whole scheme is simulated in MATLAB off-line for this project.
Keywords: Missile, RF seeker, Track loss, Stabilization loop, Angular Rate Command, Bore-Sight Error, Maneuvering and Gimbaled Platform.
Modelling and Simulation of Grid-Connected Solar-Hydro based Hybrid Power Systemijtsrd
In this paper DC linked, grid connected solar/hydro hybrid system is modelled and simulated. A control scheme is developed for solar and hydro system for variable solar irradiance and variable load. Synchronous generator based hydro system is used to feed bulk of the power and whenever solar irradiance is available solar system along with hydro system and grid supply to the load. The performance analysis of the proposed HES and its power management strategy has been done using the simulink toolboxes of MATLAB software. The proposed system consists PV system hydro system, battery and grid. In some remote/rural areas, it is very difficult to satisfy the demand of electrical power throughout the year with the power grid. In such areas, the power requirement can be fulfilled by renewable energy system such as hydro or PV system. Either the hydro system or PV system is not capable of supplying power requirement throughout the year as both systems are intermittent. Hence, the judicious combination of hydro and PV system has been modeled for electrification. The power management strategy is modeled to manage the power flow of the energy systems to fulfill the load demand. The presented results clearly show that the proposed HES and its control strategy are suitable for implementation in remote/rural areas.

Performance analysis of grid-tied photovoltaic system under varying weather c...IJECEIAES
Model and simulation of the impact of the distribution grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system feeding a variable load with its control system have been investigated in this study. Incremental Conductance (IncCond) algorithm based on maximum power point tracking (MPPT) was implemented for the PV system to extract maximum power under different weather conditions when solar irradiation varies between 250 W/m 2 and 1000 W/m 2 . The proposed system is modelled and simulated with MATLAB/Simulink tools. Under different weather conditions, the dynamic performance of the PV system is evaluated. The results obtained show the efficacy of the proposed MPPT method in response to rapid daytime weather variations. The results also show that the surplus power generated is injected into the grid when the injected power from the PV system is higher than the load demand; otherwise, the grid supplies the load.

An Higher Case Operation and Analysis of a Multiple Renewable Resources Conne...IJERA Editor
In our nation the usage of electricity is increasing day-by-day. According to that conserdations, the generated
power from the non-renewable sources will not satisfy the demands properly. so for these purpose, by using
multiple renewable sources, it will be very useful to some type of dc applications. The power produced from the
individual renewable sources will not be satisfy the demand at all times. So by integration of a multiple
renewable sources such as wind and solar a huge amount of power will be produced. These power will be
coordinated to the ac grid or directly to dc consumers. For integration of renewable sources an aggregated model
has to be proposed. In according to these operation BESS (battery energy storage system)is equipped with the
system for maintaining the power balance. For obtaining the power balance the adaptive droop control technique
has to be proposed and droop curves are evaluated. The droop characteristics are selected on the basis of the
deviation between the optimized and real-time SOC of the BESS. In these paper, the operational analysis can be
performed when real time soc is higher than the optimised soc and droop curves are plotted.
Normally, the character of the wind energy as a renewable energy sources has uncertainty in generation. To resolve the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) drawback, this paper proposed a replacement Hybrid Multi Objective Artificial Physical Optimization (HMOAPO) algorithmic rule, which does not require any management parameters compared to different meta-heuristic algorithms within the literature. Artificial Physical Optimization (APO), a moderately new population-based intelligence algorithm, shows fine performance on improvement issues. Moreover, this paper presents hybrid variety of Animal Migration Optimization (AMO) algorithmic rule to express the convergence characteristic of APO. The OPF drawback is taken into account with six totally different check cases, the effectiveness of the proposed HMOAPO technique is tested on IEEE 30-bus, IEEE 118-bus and IEEE 300-bus check system. The obtained results from the HMOAPO algorithm is compared with the other improvement techniques within the literature. The obtained comparison results indicate that proposed technique is effective to succeed in best resolution for the OPF drawback.
Modeling, Control and Power Management Strategy of a Grid connected Hybrid En...IJECEIAES
This paper presents the detailed modeling of various components of a grid connected hybrid energy system (HES) consisting of a photovoltaic (PV) system, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), an electrolyzer and a hydrogen storage tank with a power flow controller. Also, a valve controlled by the proposed controller decides how much amount of fuel is consumed by fuel cell according to the load demand. In this paper fuel cell is used instead of battery bank because fuel cell is free from pollution. The control and power management strategies are also developed. When the PV power is sufficient then it can fulfill the load demand as well as feeds the extra power to the electrolyzer. By using the electrolyzer, the hydrogen is generated from the water and stored in storage tank and this hydrogen act as a fuel to SOFC. If the availability of the power from the PV system cannot fulfill the load demand, then the fuel cell fulfills the required load demand. The SOFC takes required amount of hydrogen as fuel, which is controlled by the PID controller through a valve. Effectiveness of this technology is verified by the help of computer simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment under various loading conditions and promising results are obtained.
Hybrid Electric with a Smart Platform Source ModelingIJAEMSJORNAL
Line losses reduction greatly affects the performance of the electric distribution network. This paper aims to identify the influencing factors causing power losses in that network. Newton-Raphson method is used for the loss assessment and the Sensitivity analysis by approach One-Factor-At-A-Time (OAT) for the influencing factors identification. Simulation with the meshed IEEE-30 bus test system is carried out under MATLAB environment. Among the 14 parameters investigated of each line, the result shows that the consumed reactive powers by loads, the bus voltages and the linear parameters are the most influencing on the power losses in several lines. Thus, in order to optimize these losses, the solution consists of the reactive power compensation by using capacitor banks; then the placement of appropriate components in the network according to the corresponding loads; and finally, the injection of other energy sources into the bus which recorded high level losses by using the hybrid system for instance.
GA Based Controller for Autonomous Wind-DG Micro gridIOSRJEEE
A single renewable source of energy when integrated with other sources of energy it is termed as hybrid system. In this paper an active power control strategy has been developed such that when the wind alone is not able to meet the energy demand, without compromising the frequency a transition occurs to wind diesel mode so that the energy demand is met. This work proposes the coordination of WDG(Wind DG), VSC’s are used for two purposes one is frequency control and another is voltage control. PMBLDC generator is used as a wind power generator and the Incremental conductance method is used as MPPT along with boost converter.

Sizing of Hybrid PV/Battery Power System in Sohag cityiosrjce
This paper gives the feasibility analysis of PV- Battery system for an off-grid power station in Sohag
city. Hybrid PV-battery system was used for supplying a combined pumping and residential load. A simple cost
effective method for sizing stand-alone PV hybrid systems was introduced. The aim of sizing hybrid system is to
determine the cost effective PV configuration and to meet the estimated load at minimum cost. This requires
assessing the climate conditions which determine the temporal variation of the insolation in Sohag city. Sizing
of the hybrid system components was investigated using RETscreen and HOMER programs. The sizing software
tools require a set of data on energy resource demand and system specifications. The energy cost values of the
hybrid system agrees reasonably with those published before.

A Novel Method for Prevention of Bandwidth Distributed Denial of Service AttacksIJERD Editor
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks became a massive threat to the Internet. Traditional
Architecture of internet is vulnerable to the attacks like DDoS. Attacker primarily acquire his army of Zombies,
then that army will be instructed by the Attacker that when to start an attack and on whom the attack should be
done. In this paper, different techniques which are used to perform DDoS Attacks, Tools that were used to
perform Attacks and Countermeasures in order to detect the attackers and eliminate the Bandwidth Distributed
Denial of Service attacks (B-DDoS) are reviewed. DDoS Attacks were done by using various Flooding
techniques which are used in DDoS attack.
The main purpose of this paper is to design an architecture which can reduce the Bandwidth
Distributed Denial of service Attack and make the victim site or server available for the normal users by
eliminating the zombie machines. Our Primary focus of this paper is to dispute how normal machines are
turning into zombies (Bots), how attack is been initiated, DDoS attack procedure and how an organization can
save their server from being a DDoS victim. In order to present this we implemented a simulated environment
with Cisco switches, Routers, Firewall, some virtual machines and some Attack tools to display a real DDoS
attack. By using Time scheduling, Resource Limiting, System log, Access Control List and some Modular
policy Framework we stopped the attack and identified the Attacker (Bot) machines
Hearing loss is one of the most common human impairments. It is estimated that by year 2015 more
than 700 million people will suffer mild deafness. Most can be helped by hearing aid devices depending on the
severity of their hearing loss. This paper describes the implementation and characterization details of a dual
channel transmitter front end (TFE) for digital hearing aid (DHA) applications that use novel micro
electromechanical- systems (MEMS) audio transducers and ultra-low power-scalable analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), which enable a very-low form factor, energy-efficient implementation for next-generation
DHA. The contribution of the design is the implementation of the dual channel MEMS microphones and powerscalable
ADC system.
Influence of tensile behaviour of slab on the structural Behaviour of shear c...IJERD Editor
-A composite beam is composed of a steel beam and a slab connected by means of shear connectors
like studs installed on the top flange of the steel beam to form a structure behaving monolithically. This study
analyzes the effects of the tensile behavior of the slab on the structural behavior of the shear connection like slip
stiffness and maximum shear force in composite beams subjected to hogging moment. The results show that the
shear studs located in the crack-concentration zones due to large hogging moments sustain significantly smaller
shear force and slip stiffness than the other zones. Moreover, the reduction of the slip stiffness in the shear
connection appears also to be closely related to the change in the tensile strain of rebar according to the increase
of the load. Further experimental and analytical studies shall be conducted considering variables such as the
reinforcement ratio and the arrangement of shear connectors to achieve efficient design of the shear connection
in composite beams subjected to hogging moment.
Gold prospecting using Remote Sensing ‘A case study of Sudan’IJERD Editor
Gold has been extracted from northeast Africa for more than 5000 years, and this may be the first
place where the metal was extracted. The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) is an exposure of Precambrian
crystalline rocks on the flanks of the Red Sea. The crystalline rocks are mostly Neoproterozoic in age. ANS
includes the nations of Israel, Jordan. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Somalia.
Arabian Nubian Shield Consists of juvenile continental crest that formed between 900 550 Ma, when intra
oceanic arc welded together along ophiolite decorated arc. Primary Au mineralization probably developed in
association with the growth of intra oceanic arc and evolution of back arc. Multiple episodes of deformation
have obscured the primary metallogenic setting, but at least some of the deposits preserve evidence that they
originate as sea floor massive sulphide deposits.
The Red Sea Hills Region is a vast span of rugged, harsh and inhospitable sector of the Earth with
inimical moon-like terrain, nevertheless since ancient times it is famed to be an abode of gold and was a major
source of wealth for the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs old workings have been periodically
rediscovered through time. Recent endeavours by the Geological Research Authority of Sudan led to the
discovery of a score of occurrences with gold and massive sulphide mineralizations. In the nineties of the
previous century the Geological Research Authority of Sudan (GRAS) in cooperation with BRGM utilized
satellite data of Landsat TM using spectral ratio technique to map possible mineralized zones in the Red Sea
Hills of Sudan. The outcome of the study mapped a gossan type gold mineralization. Band ratio technique was
applied to Arbaat area and a signature of alteration zone was detected. The alteration zones are commonly
associated with mineralization. The alteration zones are commonly associated with mineralization. A filed check
confirmed the existence of stock work of gold bearing quartz in the alteration zone. Another type of gold
mineralization that was discovered using remote sensing is the gold associated with metachert in the Atmur
Desert.
Reducing Corrosion Rate by Welding DesignIJERD Editor
The paper addresses the importance of welding design to prevent corrosion at steel. Welding is
used to join pipe, profiles at bridges, spindle, and a lot more part of engineering construction. The
problems happened associated with welding are common issues in these fields, especially corrosion.
Corrosion can be reduced with many methods, they are painting, controlling humidity, and also good
welding design. In the research, it can be found that reducing residual stress on the welding can be
solved in corrosion rate reduction problem.
Preheating on 500oC and 600oC give better condition to reduce corosion rate than condition after
preheating 400oC. For all welding groove type, material with 500oC and 600oC preheating after 14 days
corrosion test is 0,5%-0,69% lost. Material with 400oC preheating after 14 days corrosion test is 0,57%-0,76%
lost.
Welding groove also influence corrosion rate. X and V type welding groove give better condition to reduce
corrosion rate than use 1/2V and 1/2 X welding groove. After 14 days corrosion test, the samples with
X welding groove type is 0,5%-0,57% lost. The samples with V welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is
0,51%-0,59% lost. The samples with 1/2V and 1/2X welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is 0,58%-
0,71% lost.

Active Power Exchange in Distributed Power-Flow Controller (DPFC) At Third Ha...IJERD Editor
This paper presents a component within the flexible ac-transmission system (FACTS) family, called
distributed power-flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC)
with an eliminated common dc link. The DPFC has the same control capabilities as the UPFC, which comprise
the adjustment of the line impedance, the transmission angle, and the bus voltage. The active power exchange
between the shunt and series converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the
transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. DPFC multiple small-size single-phase converters which
reduces the cost of equipment, no voltage isolation between phases, increases redundancy and there by
reliability increases. The principle and analysis of the DPFC are presented in this paper and the corresponding
simulation results that are carried out on a scaled prototype are also shown.
Mitigation of Voltage Sag/Swell with Fuzzy Control Reduced Rating DVRIJERD Editor
Power quality has been an issue that is becoming increasingly pivotal in industrial electricity
consumers point of view in recent times. Modern industries employ Sensitive power electronic equipments,
control devices and non-linear loads as part of automated processes to increase energy efficiency and
productivity. Voltage disturbances are the most common power quality problem due to this the use of a large
numbers of sophisticated and sensitive electronic equipment in industrial systems is increased. This paper
discusses the design and simulation of dynamic voltage restorer for improvement of power quality and
reduce the harmonics distortion of sensitive loads. Power quality problem is occurring at non-standard
voltage, current and frequency. Electronic devices are very sensitive loads. In power system voltage sag,
swell, flicker and harmonics are some of the problem to the sensitive load. The compensation capability
of a DVR depends primarily on the maximum voltage injection ability and the amount of stored
energy available within the restorer. This device is connected in series with the distribution feeder at
medium voltage. A fuzzy logic control is used to produce the gate pulses for control circuit of DVR and the
circuit is simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
Study on the Fused Deposition Modelling In Additive ManufacturingIJERD Editor
Additive manufacturing process, also popularly known as 3-D printing, is a process where a product
is created in a succession of layers. It is based on a novel materials incremental manufacturing philosophy.
Unlike conventional manufacturing processes where material is removed from a given work price to derive the
final shape of a product, 3-D printing develops the product from scratch thus obviating the necessity to cut away
materials. This prevents wastage of raw materials. Commonly used raw materials for the process are ABS
plastic, PLA and nylon. Recently the use of gold, bronze and wood has also been implemented. The complexity
factor of this process is 0% as in any object of any shape and size can be manufactured.

Secure Image Transmission for Cloud Storage System Using Hybrid SchemeIJERD Editor
- Data over the cloud is transferred or transmitted between servers and users. Privacy of that
data is very important as it belongs to personal information. If data get hacked by the hacker, can be
used to defame a person’s social data. Sometimes delay are held during data transmission. i.e. Mobile
communication, bandwidth is low. Hence compression algorithms are proposed for fast and efficient
transmission, encryption is used for security purposes and blurring is used by providing additional
layers of security. These algorithms are hybridized for having a robust and efficient security and
transmission over cloud storage system.
Application of Buckley-Leverett Equation in Modeling the Radius of Invasion i...IJERD Editor
A thorough review of existing literature indicates that the Buckley-Leverett equation only analyzes
waterflood practices directly without any adjustments on real reservoir scenarios. By doing so, quite a number
of errors are introduced into these analyses. Also, for most waterflood scenarios, a radial investigation is more
appropriate than a simplified linear system. This study investigates the adoption of the Buckley-Leverett
equation to estimate the radius invasion of the displacing fluid during waterflooding. The model is also adopted
for a Microbial flood and a comparative analysis is conducted for both waterflooding and microbial flooding.
Results shown from the analysis doesn’t only records a success in determining the radial distance of the leading
edge of water during the flooding process, but also gives a clearer understanding of the applicability of
microbes to enhance oil production through in-situ production of bio-products like bio surfactans, biogenic
gases, bio acids etc.
Gesture Gaming on the World Wide Web Using an Ordinary Web CameraIJERD Editor
- Gesture gaming is a method by which users having a laptop/pc/x-box play games using natural or
bodily gestures. This paper presents a way of playing free flash games on the internet using an ordinary webcam
with the help of open source technologies. Emphasis in human activity recognition is given on the pose
estimation and the consistency in the pose of the player. These are estimated with the help of an ordinary web
camera having different resolutions from VGA to 20mps. Our work involved giving a 10 second documentary to
the user on how to play a particular game using gestures and what are the various kinds of gestures that can be
performed in front of the system. The initial inputs of the RGB values for the gesture component is obtained by
instructing the user to place his component in a red box in about 10 seconds after the short documentary before
the game is finished. Later the system opens the concerned game on the internet on popular flash game sites like
miniclip, games arcade, GameStop etc and loads the game clicking at various places and brings the state to a
place where the user is to perform only gestures to start playing the game. At any point of time the user can call
off the game by hitting the esc key and the program will release all of the controls and return to the desktop. It
was noted that the results obtained using an ordinary webcam matched that of the Kinect and the users could
relive the gaming experience of the free flash games on the net. Therefore effective in game advertising could
also be achieved thus resulting in a disruptive growth to the advertising firms.

-LLC resonant frequency converter is basically a combo of series as well as parallel resonant ckt. For
LCC resonant converter it is associated with a disadvantage that, though it has two resonant frequencies, the

resonant converter is narrow switching frequency range with light load[6] . Basically, the control ckt plays a
very imp. role and hence 555 Timer used here provides a perfect square wave as the control ckt provides no
slew rate which makes the square wave really strong and impenetrable. The dead band circuit provides the
exclusive dead band in micro seconds so as to avoid the simultaneous firing of two pairs of IGBT’s where one
pair switches off and the other on for a slightest period of time. Hence, the isolator ckt here is associated with
each and every ckt used because it acts as a driver and an isolation to each of the IGBT is provided with one
exclusive transformer supply[3]. The IGBT’s are fired using the appropriate signal using the previous boards
and hence at last a high frequency rectifier ckt with a filtering capacitor is used to get an exact dc

“MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to Extract Microsatellites on „Y‟ Chrom...IJERD Editor
Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), also known as Microsatellites, have been extensively used as
molecular markers due to their abundance and high degree of polymorphism. The nucleotide sequences of
polymorphic forms of the same gene should be 99.9% identical. So, Microsatellites extraction from the Gene is
crucial. However, Microsatellites repeat count is compared, if they differ largely, he has some disorder. The Y
chromosome likely contains 50 to 60 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males
have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and
development. Several Microsatellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of
giga bytes and tera bytes in size. The proposed tool “MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to extract
Microsatellites on „Y‟ Chromosome” can extract both Perfect as well as Imperfect Microsatellites from large
data sets of human genome „Y‟. The proposed system uses string matching with sliding window approach to
locate Microsatellites and extracts them.
Importance of Measurements in Smart GridIJERD Editor
- The need to get reliable supply, independence from fossil fuels, and capability to provide clean
energy at a fixed and lower cost, the existing power grid structure is transforming into Smart Grid. The
development of a smart energy distribution grid is a current goal of many nations. A Smart Grid should have
new capabilities such as self-healing, high reliability, energy management, and real-time pricing. This new era
of smart future grid will lead to major changes in existing technologies at generation, transmission and
distribution levels. The incorporation of renewable energy resources and distribution generators in the existing
grid will increase the complexity, optimization problems and instability of the system. This will lead to a
paradigm shift in the instrumentation and control requirements for Smart Grids for high quality, stable and
reliable electricity supply of power. The monitoring of the grid system state and stability relies on the
availability of reliable measurement of data. In this paper the measurement areas that highlight new
measurement challenges, development of the Smart Meters and the critical parameters of electric energy to be
monitored for improving the reliability of power systems has been discussed.
Study of Macro level Properties of SCC using GGBS and Lime stone powderIJERD Editor
One of the major environmental concerns is the disposal of the waste materials and utilization of
industrial by products. Lime stone quarries will produce millions of tons waste dust powder every year. Having
considerable high degree of fineness in comparision to cement this material may be utilized as a partial
replacement to cement. For this purpose an experiment is conducted to investigate the possibility of using lime
stone powder in the production of SCC with combined use GGBS and how it affects the fresh and mechanical
properties of SCC. First SCC is made by replacing cement with GGBS in percentages like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and
by taking the optimum mix with GGBS lime stone powder is blended to mix in percentages like 5, 10, 15, 20 as
a partial replacement to cement. Test results shows that the SCC mix with combination of 30% GGBS and 15%
limestone powder gives maximum compressive strength and fresh properties are also in the limits prescribed by
the EFNARC.

Abstract -The sizing and techno economical optimization of a stand alone hybrid system is presented in this paper the
main objective is to find the optimum size of system, able to fulfill the energy requirements of a given load distribution at
a rural place in India In the optimal sizing procedure the first step is modeling of a hybrid pv/wind system with
mathematical models that characterize pv module, wind generator and the battery. The second step is to optimize the
sizing of a system according to loss of power supply probability (LPSP) and the levelized cost of energy (LCE). The
configuration which meets the desired system reliability with the lowest LCE gives the optimal choice By Applying the
optimization model to a hybrid plant which is assumed to installed at a rural place called Nekkanti in India which is
almost in Nallamalla forest, the simulation results show the optimal configuration which meet the desired system
reliability requirements with the lowest LCE. The proposed system simulated using the MATLAB solver, the input
parameters to the solver was the meteorological data for the selected locations and the sizes of the Photovoltaic cells and
the wind turbines. The results shows that (sites) can use the solar and wind energy to generate power enough to power
some village in the rural area.

I. INTRODUCTION
Electric energy plays an important role for the development of nation. It s the factor responsible for industrial and
agricultural development for the development of agricultural sector rural electrification plays main role According to IEA
(2009) worldwide 1.456 billion people do not have access to electricity, of which 83% live in rural areas. The technologies
are developed to produce energy and satisfy the needs of the nation. The scarcity of fossil fuel resources on a world wide
basis has necessitated an urgent search for alternative sources. The problem can be overcome by the use of renewable energy
to meet the energy demand. Using solar and wind energy is one of the best options to generate electricity since these energies
are inexhaustible and pollution free. For remote areas i.e., The areas which are far away from the grid hybrid systems have
been considered as attractive and preferred alternative sources [3-4]
In India agriculture play dominant role in the development of nation, most of the people live in rural areas whose
occupation is agriculture. In India nearly more than 70,000 villages are unelectrified. 400 million people have no access of
electricity. In Andhra Pradesh for the areas which are nearer to, or under Nallamalla forest that are very far away from the
grid it is difficult to supply electricity due to their inherent location and economy. The cost to install lines and bus bars are
considerably high for remote areas. In most of the remote areas ,extension of utility grid experiences several problems like
poor regulation high capital investment etc., For long time, the choice of diesel power generation for these regions has been
considered as the most economical and reliable alternative. Now a days due to several practical problems induced for the
user (high operating costs, fuel transportation problems, complicated maintenance, etc.), the diesel power generation is not
always the most profitable solution. On the other hand, with more concerns about environmental issues and the steady
progress in renewable energy technologies, renewable energy resources appear to be one of the most efficient and effective
solution for sustainable energy development and environmental pollution prevention. The use of different energy sources
allows improving the system efficiency and the reliability of the energy supply and reduces the energy storage requirements
compared to systems comprising only one single renewable energy source. On the other hand, with the complementary
characteristics between solar and wind energy resources for certain locations, hybrid solar/wind power generation systems
with storage banks offer a high reliable source of power.
To use solar and wind energy resources more efficiently and economically, the optimal sizing of hybrid PV/wind
system with battery plays an important role in this respect. In [15] this context, Biomass-based fuels are being steadily
replaced with modern fossil fuels and electricity in cities of developing countries. The latter energy sources are more
convenient and efficient to use, and produce less local pollutants. This fuel transition has companied economic growth in
many cities. In [1] this context, an optimization sizing model is developed. It consists of three sub models; system
components sub models, technical sub model based on the loss of power supply probability (LPSP) and the economical sub
model based on the levelised cost of energy (LCE). Applying the developed model, a set of configurations meeting the
desired LPSP is obtained. The configuration with the lowest LCE gives the optimal one. In this based on the desired LPSP
the number of wind generators, photovoltaic modules, batteries are increased
In [2] this context modeling a hybrid PV/wind system is considered as the first step in the optimal sizing
procedure. In this paper, more accurate mathematical models for characterizing PV module wind generator and battery are
proposed. The second step consists to optimize the sizing of a system according to the loss of power supply probability
19
2. Computer Aided Optimal Sizing of Hybrid Photovoltaic Wind System for Rural Electrification in India
(LPSP) and the levelised cost of energy (LCE) concepts. In [4] this paper deals with the modeling of an electrical local
network supplied with energy provided by renewable resources. Its purpose is to implement and develop a software
application to analyze and simulate a real hybrid solar-wind system connected to a local grid using Matlab Simulink
environment. Blocks like wind model, solar model, local grid model are implemented and the results of simulation are also
presented.
In this paper it is assumed to install HPWS at a place called Nekkanti in Andhrapradesh.The optimization sizing
is done first by calculating the wind potential based on it the wind generator capacity is chosen .later based on the desired
LPSP the number of photovoltaic modules and batteries are increased. This optimal sizing is done by developing a software
program using Matlab Simulink environment.
II. PROPOSED HYBRID PV/WIND CONFIGURATION
The following architecture is an improved version of the centralized DC-bus architecture shown in Fig.1 .The
improvement exists mainly in the addition of a DC/DC converter for each energy conversion system (including the storage
battery) before connecting them to the main DC bus (Fig. 1). By this addition of the DC/DC converters, the state values of
the energy conversion sources become completely decoupled from each other and from the state values of the grid. The
power production of the different sources becomes now freely controllable without affecting the state values of the grid
.Decoupling the state values means that the variations of the renewable resources like the velocity of the wind and
the intensity of the solar radiation will not influence the state values of the electrical grid. These values are only controlled
by the inverter. On the other hand, changes in the loads, which influence the state values of the grid, will not affect the
generation side.
In order to meet the energy requirements of isolated consumers, the stand-alone PV/wind system, similar to the
one of Fig.1, is proposed. It consists of a PV generator, a wind generator, a battery storage system, a DC/DC converter, an
AC/DC converter, a DC/AC inverter able to meet the consumption peak load demand and an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) used to stabilize the wind turbines output as well as to protect the sensitive devices from undesired power fluctuations.
The proposed configuration permits to the energy produced by the wind generator to be sent directly to consumer via the
UPS and the energy surplus is transformed to DC current and it is subsequently stored in the batteries

III. MODELLING OF THE HYBRID PV/WIND SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Modelisation is an essential step before any phase of optimal sizing. Various modeling techniques are developed,
to model HPWS components, in previous studies. For a hybrid PV/wind system with storage battery, as shown in Fig.1,
three principal subsystems are included, the PV generator, the wind turbine and the battery storage. A methodology for
modeling HPWS components is described below.
A. Modeling of PV generator
As the operation and the performance of PV generator is interested to its maximum power, the models describing
the PV module‘s maximum power output behaviours are more practical for PV system assessment.
For estimating the power output of PV modules a mathematical model is used. The estimation is carried out using
a computer program which uses a subroutine for determining the power output of a PV module. Using the solar radiation
available on the tilted surface, the ambient temperature and the manufacturers data for the PV modules as model inputs, the
power output of the PV generator , Ppv can be calculated according to the following equations[11]
PPV = η g N Am G t (1)
Where,
ηg is the instantaneous PV generator efficiency,
Am is the area of a single module used in a system (m2),
Gt is the global irradiance incident on the titled plane (W/m2) and
N is the number of modules.
All the energy losses in a PV generator, including connection losses, wiring losses and other losses, are assumed to be zero.
The instantaneous PV generator efficiency is represented by the following equation [12]
ηg =ηr ηpt [1− βt (Tc − Tr )] (2)
Where
ηr is the PV generator reference efficiency,
ηpt is the efficiency of power tracking equipment which is equal to 1 if a perfect maximum power point tracker is used,
Tc is the temperature of PV cell (°C),
Tr is the PV cell reference temperature and
βt is the temperature coefficient of efficiency, ranging from 0.004 to 0.006 per °C for silicon cells.
Based on the energy balance proposed by the PV cell temperature can be expressed as follows:
NOCT 20
Tc Ta G t (3)
800
Where
Ta , is the ambient temperature (°C),
NOCT is the nominal operating cell temperature
Consequently, the instantaneous PV generator efficiency can be expressed as follows:
1 ηr ηpt
NOCT - 20
ηg ηr ηpt 1 β t Ta Tr β t G t (4)
800
ηpt , βt , NOCT, Am are parameters that depend on the type of module, and given by the manufacturer of the modules
B. Modeling of wind generator
The speed of wind is described in terms of statistical methods ,as it is a random process. Generally the wind speed
data were recorded at ground surfaces .The following equation is used to determine the wind speed at a particular hub height
H
V V H re f
ref
(5)
Where
V is the wind speed at hub height H ,
V0 is the wind speed measured at the reference height H0 and
α is the power law exponent which varies with the elevation, the time of day, the season, the nature of the terrain, the wind
speed and the temperature.
The wind speed distribution is assumed to be a weibull distribution. Hence the probability of wind speed during any time
interval is given by [8]
k v

The constants ‗c‘ and ‗k‘ are determined from the coefficients of the wind speed distribution which is of weibull type.
Once distribution functions for wind speed were calculated. The average power output during any time t can be calculated by
the following equation [8]
1
p(t ) vwind

(9)
2
Where
P(t)= the specific wind power in w/m2
V=the average velocity in m/sec
ζ =1.225 air density [kg/m3]
The equation of the output power of wind generator can be expressed as[13]
V Vcin
Pr V V Vcin V Vrat

Pwg V Pr Vrat V V cou
0 V Vcinand V Vcou
(10)
Where
Pwg (V) is the output power of wind generator at wind speed V,
Pr is the rated power;
V is the wind speed at the hub height
Vcin , Vrat and Vco are the cut-in, rated and cutout wind speeds, respectively.
C. Modeling of battery storage
The energy generated by the photovoltaic and wind generators the load energy requirements, the battery capacity
can be computed during the simulation period Depends on the previous state of battery charge, as follows:
If pwg ≥ p load the battery is in charging process and its storage capacity, at time t, can be expressed as
cbat cbat (t 1) p pv t pwg t pload (t ) cad tcha (11)
Where,
Cbat(t) and Cbat(t-1) =Available battery bank capacity (Wh) at times t and t-1.
pload t =Power consumed by the load at time
t = Simulation time step
cad = Converter AC/ DC assumed to be constant in this study (cad =95%) and
cha = Battery charging efficiency ranging from0.65 to0.85 .
1)case1: Depending on the charging current in this case two situations arises
Case1: If Ppv(t) ≥ [Pload (t) – Pwg(t)]/ηinv the battery is in charging process and the battery storage capacity is given by
the following expression:

2)Case2: when the battery is in discharging process, the energy discharged by the battery is given by the following
expression:
1 p (t ) pwg (t )
p pv (t ) load
C bat (t ) cbat (t 1) t
dech
(13)
inv
where
ηdech =Battery discharging efficiency which set equal to 1
ηinv =Inverter efficiency (in this study considered as constant and equal to 95%).
At any time, the storage capacity is subject to the following constraints:
Cbat min ≤ Cbat (t) ≤ Cbat max. (14)
Where
Cbat max and Cbat min are the maximum and minimum allowable storage capacity.
C bat n = Storage nominal capacity
C bat min = Minimum allowable storage capacity can be determined by
Cbat min = DOD.Cbatn (15)
where DOD (%) represents the maximum permissible depth of battery discharge. Here it is taken as 50%
IV. MODELING OF SYSTEM RELIABILITY
Loss of power supply probability (LPSP) : It is defined as the long term average fraction of the load that is not
supplied by a stand alone system.

24
7. Computer Aided Optimal Sizing of Hybrid Photovoltaic Wind System for Rural Electrification in India
LPSP of 0 means the load will be always satisfied , and the LPSP of 1 means the load will never be satisfied
The LPSP technique is a technical implemented criterion for sizing and evaluating an Hybrid Photovoltaic Wind System
with storage batteries. In this study, the technical model for hybrid system sizing, based on the LPSP concept, is developed
During the system operation, the following situations appear:
A. Case 1:
The output power of the wind generator, is greater than the power demand (P wg P load) .
In this case, the energy surplus (P wg- P load) and the energy generated by the PV generator (Ppv) are stored in
the batteries. The storage capacity of batteries is calculated using Eq. (11). If the battery storage is maximum (C bat Cmax)
the residual energy is forwarded to low priority loads.
B. Case2:
The wind generator output power demand is lesser than the power demand (P wg P load) .the energy deficit (P
load - P wg) is covered by the PV generator If this precondition is not fulfilled (P (P load -P wg )/η inv) then the
pv
energy deficit is covered by the batteries under the condition C bat= C bat.min and the amount of energy discharged by the
battery using Eq.(10)
In case the energy generated by PV and wind generators and stored energy in batteries is insufficient to satisfy the
energy load requirements at any time t , then there is a deficit of energy which results in power loss .The loss of power
supply LPS(t), can be expressed as follows:
LPS (t ) ( Pload (t ) Pwg (t )) t ( Ppv (t )t Cbat (t 1) Cbat min )inv (16)
In the above two cases the battery stops discharging or charging process when it reaches a minimum or maximum
value respectively.
The ratio of all LPS(t) values to the total load required during a period T (1 year for this study) defines the LPSP.
This can be defined as[4]
T
LPS ( t )
LPSP t 1
T
Pl oad ( t ) t (17)
t 1
T is the operation time
V. DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMUM NUMBER OF BATTERIES AND PV
MODULES BASED ON THE ECONOMIC APPROACH
The number of photovoltaic modules and the number of batteries are determined based on the desired LPSP. To
obtain minimum cost of the system it is necessary to determine pv/battery combination . The initial cost of the system can
be defined as [6]
IC N pv Nbatt c0 (18)
Where
IC-initial capital of the plant
α - cost of the PV module
β – cost of a battery
C0 - the total constant costs including the cost of design , installation, wind turbine etc
The condition to obtain optimum solution is
N pV
(19)
N batt
VI. ECONOMICAL MODEL
Levelised cost of energy(LCE): It is the ratio of the total annualized cost of the system to the annual electricity
delivered by the system . it is given by
LCE =(PVC.CRF)/Eload . (20)
Eload is the yearly output in kWh,
PVC the total present value of actual cost of all system component and CRF the capital recovery factor,
CRF can be expressed as follows
CRF=d(1+d)T/((1+d)T-1) .(21)
where,
d is the annual discount rate,
25
8. Computer Aided Optimal Sizing of Hybrid Photovoltaic Wind System for Rural Electrification in India
T is the system life in years,
The present value of costs (PVC) can be calculated as follows:
(22)
Where,
IC = Initial cost,
Cm = Present value of system life of maintenance costs of the hybrid system
RC= Present value of the replacement of parts of the installation costs.
The initial cost of the system consists of the components prices (wind generator including tower and controller, PV
generator, battery bank, inverter), the cost of civil work, installation and the connections cables. In this study, the civil work
and installation costs are taken as 20% of the price of wind generator (turbine+tower+controller) for wind part and 40% of
price of PV generator for PV part.
The replacement cost mainly depends on the replacement of some parts of the installation. Since the wind
generator and PV generator have the life of the system, their replacement costs can be considered as zero, while the batteries
and the inverter must be replaced.
The present value of replacement cost can be determined as follows
(Ti / N rem 1)
1 g1
N rem
RC U cCn (23)
i 1 1 d
Cn=Nominal capacity/power (battery/inverter), (Wh or W),
Uc =Unit cost (RS/Wh),
Nrem==Number of component (battery or inverter) replacements over T year
g1=inflation rate of component replacement
The present value of maintenance costs (25 years of maintenance) of the hybrid system c m expressed as
(24)
Where,
i =Inflation rate for operations,
d =Interest rate,
T =System life in years (25 years).
Cm0 =Maintenance cost in the first year.
Cm0 is expressed as a fraction of the component cost. Here , it is assumed to be 1% of cost for PV generator and
inverter and 3% of cost for wind generator. For battery storage, the annual maintenance cost is considered to be zero. The
annual discount rate is considered as 8%
VII. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The presented analysis is applied to load distribution assumed at a place called Nekkanti in Andhra Pradesh it
almost comes under Nallamalla forest where tribal people lives . it is located at a latitude of 16.9 and longitude of 79.98 . To
install a hybrid photovoltaic wind system at this place it is necessary to collect the metrological data for one year . Here the
metrological data for the year 2011 is collected. Wind speed
Solar radiation and temperatures are the input parameters. Fig 3. shows the monthly solar radiation, daily average
wind speed and temperatures. The Wind energy & solar energy are assumed to be constant during the time step. The load is
taken between 3.5kwh to 35kwh/day. The electrical loads are assumed to be light ceiling fan and an agricultural pump. In
these areas during March and April peak loads are noted for agricultural pumps and the load is zero during June and July
months and a load of 3.5kwh/day is assumed to be present during the months June and July
Here in this context the objective is mainly to analyze the hybrid photovoltaic wind system from the techno-
economical point of view which is assumed to be installed at Nekkanti. The wind generator rating is choosen based on wind
potential/month. . The wind potential is obtained by plotting wind density function curve for every month in a year using
weibull distribution.
From the results obtained by simulation, the wind generator rating is chosen to have a Energy potential of
40kwh/month. As per the load requirement s the difference energy is generated by pv modules. Here pv modules rated 75w
is used .A battery of 36AH is used. The system components specifications, ratings, prices and their lifetime is given in
Tables I,II,III respectively. As per economic point of view for optimal sizing the no of pv modules and number of batteries

are obtained using equation (19) The simulation results shows to get the desired LPSP i.e., zero and to have minimum LCE
three pv modules and two batteries are needed .The present value of cost is Rs. 2,02,540/-The cost/kwh by considering the
average energy generated for 25 years is Rs.3.35/- i.e., nearly Rs.3.5/-

VIII. CONCLUSION
The optimal sizing of autonomous hybrid PV/wind system with battery storage, using an optimization model can
be obtained in terms of a system power supply reliability requirement by using the LPSP concept. The one with the lowest
levelised cost of energy is considered as the economical optimal configuration.
It can be concluded that:
1. The optimal configuration system size depends on the available wind and solar potential at a site.
2. In india due to the adequate available of potential and solar energy the LCE of using HPWS is found to be
economical.
3. It is very economical to install this plant in rural areas as the cost of transmission lines is deducted
4. The ratings of wind generator depends on the wind potential at a particular site
5. The ratio of number of pv modules and batteries depends on its cost ratio
6. The optimal configuration depends on the LPSP. When the desired LPSP is less then the LCE cost raises.
