System overview of the methods used to study power units with variable process parameters, and practical aspects of modeling
Journal Title: Проблеми загальної енергетики - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The article discusses specifics of technical and economic studies concerning variable or undetermined duty, operating, financial and economic parameters. Based on certain classification indicators (the availability of statistical data and the mean type method) the typical tasks are highlighted and a classification scheme is suggested for basic mathematical methods of studies employed to address a wide range of technical and economic issues related to renewable energy source (RES) power supply systems. Typical algorithmic diagrams are described and advantages and disadvantages are outlined with regard to basic probabilistic simulation methods depending on the availability of statistical information, and random distribution of parameters. Emphasis is given to the future use of hybrid models combining the features of analytical recording of averaged (steady) and stochastic components for simulating variables, and to practical advantages of well-known simulation modeling methods. The efficiency of using probabilistic methods to obtain updated technical and economic (price) indices for solar photovoltaic plants (SPVP) subject to the availability of random distribution data relating to technological parameters is confirmed by the results of benchmarking calculations based on the SPVP simulation model developed taking into account the business environment in Ukraine.
