Effects Of Seasonal Climate Variations On Hybrid Power System Using Power Pinch Analysis

The global warming nowadays is one of the result from burning of fossil fuels for electricity power generation. Due to this world problem, the world shift on to the more environmental power generation which is by applying Hybrid Power System (HPS) which use renewable energies as the power source. The challenge of using Renewable Energy (RE) is the climate variation which need to be considered in the HPS design. In this project, the performance of HPS during summer and winter for a site located in Toronto, Canada with population around 30,000 has been studied. The factors been looking forward in design the HPS are the Minimum Outsource Electric Source (MOES) and the Available Excess Electricity for the Next Day (AEEND) at the end of the day for both season by using the new approach of analysis which is Power Pinch Analysis. As a result, the demand situation are taken based on summer as the demand are higher than winter season while the power generation taken based on winter season.
