Modified Farmland Fertility Optimization Algorithm for Optimal Design of a Grid-connected Hybrid Renewable Energy System with Fuel Cell Storage: Case Study of Ataka, Egypt

Abstract

In this paper, a Modified Farmland Fertility Optimization algorithm (MFFA) has been presented for optimal sizing of a grid connected hybrid system including photovoltaic (PV), wind turbines and fuel cell (FC). The system is optimal designed for providing a clean, reliable and affordable energy by adopting hybrid power systems. This system is very important for countries looking to achieve their sustainable development goals. MFFA is proposed in order to reduce the processing implementation time. The optimization method depends on the high reliability of the hybrid power supply, small fluctuation in the injected energy to the grid and high utilization of the wind and solar complementary characteristics. Moreover, MFFA is applied to minimize the cost of energy while satisfying the operational constraints. A real case study of a hybrid power system for Ataka region in Egypt is introduced to evaluate the performance of the proposed optimization method. Moreover, a comprehensive comparison between the proposed MFFA optimization technique and the conventional Farmland Fertility Algorithm (FFA) has been presented to validate the proposed MFFA.
