Energetic and ecological justification of RE-hybrid systems for vulnerable ecosystems

Abstract

Abstract About two-thirds of the territory of Russia, which covers 11 million km2, lies in a region with severe climatic conditions. These northern ecosystems have a unique climate and are supplied with supplies by outdated diesel generation. Therefore, an urgent need has arisen to modernize the power supply systems in question using modern energy-efficient technologies, including power plants based on Arctic renewable energy sources that convert the high natural potential of renewable energy on these territories. For example, the coastal territories of the Russian North are situated in the zone of high wind power potential. In the article a method of modernization through the use of modular hybrid energy complexes are proposed. In total, about 4,700 such stations can be installed in Russia, and the total environmental effect from them will be about $1 million. Moreover, these power plants have a high science intensity. The problem of correct optimization of the parameters and architecture of wind-diesel power plants is also investigated in the article.
