The research explores the combined operation of renewable energy and pumped storage unit in rural electrification, as well as the economic benefits of using adjustable-speed pumped storage unit as energy storage device. The study uses a scheduling model to analyze the technical features of ASU and FSU, showing that using ASU can significantly reduce the operational cost of the hybrid system.
The combined operation of renewable energy and pumped storage unit (PSU) has become an important researching tendency in rural electrification, for handling the variable characteristics of power as well as load demand, particularly in standalone applications. Recently, adjustable-speed pumped storage unit (ASU) has been developed as an evolutionary version of fixed-speed pumped storage unit (FSU) due to its adjustable power in pumping mode, larger output range and higher efficiency in generating mode, but presents an increased capital outlay in terms of equipment. Therefore, it is a meaningful topic to appraise the economic benefit of using ASU as energy storage device for the hybrid system, which has rarely been studied quantitatively. In this paper, a scheduling model composed of a photovoltaic generator, a wind turbine, a diesel generator and a PSU, is presented and the technical features of two different PSUs are analysed. The main purpose of the proposed model is to highlight the potential of the ASU to reduce the operation cost for the developed hybrid system. The simulations have been carried out using Cplex called by Matlab. Two scenarios are investigated, including a summer and a winter case. The results show that using the ASU for the developed hybrid system, 46.7% fuel can be saved on a summer day and 11.24% fuel saving can be achieved on a winter day compared to the case where the FSU is used as the energy storage device.
