Solar–Wind System for the Remote Objects of Railway Transport Infrastructure

Abstract

The article deals with adding the power of a local object to a solar–wind system when consuming electricity from the grid within the power limit. The parameter’s calculation technique for the different values of degree of power increase was considered. The load schedule, the electricity consumption, use of installed power, boundary conditions of generation, and ensuring energy balance were taken into account. Furthermore, data from the renewable source’s generation archive for the location of the object were used. The control of the power consumed by the object was carried out on the taken values of added and total load power with binding to photovoltaic generation. The added power reference on some time intervals was carried out according to the actual renewable generation power value. This increases the degree of use of the battery capacity and energy from renewable sources. The reference of the added power with the state of battery charge formation was carried out according to the forecast. One cycle of deep battery discharge at the evening peak was used to extend the battery life. For the accepted conditions with the average monthly values of renewable energy sources generation with an increase in power by 1.6 times, there was a decrease in electricity consumption by 1.57–4 times.
