In general, the study of the impact of optimally sized hybrid renewable power generation on distribution networks encompasses a broad range of technical, economic, and environmental aspects.
The issue of cost-effectiveness is paramount in the integration of renewable energy sources. Consequently, researchers are actively engaged in evaluating the economic feasibility of hybrid systems and delving into various financing mechanisms aimed at incentivizing their widespread adoption and deployment.
To tackle these concerns, the present study suggests a hybrid power generation system, which combines solar and biogas resources, and integrates Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) and Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) technologies into the system.
System simulation software Tools such as HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables) and RET-Screen are extensively employed for simulating and optimizing hybrid renewable energy systems 27, 28.
In the hybrid solar PV-biogas with SMES-PHES energy storage project, the PV system accounts for 1.2838 × 10 6 € (28%) of the total project costs, while the biogas generating system accounts for 1.4757 × 10 6 € (32%).
