Abstract:

In this paper, a hybrid approach combining fuzzy logic-based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) with a battery-supercapacitor system is proposed to improve photovoltaic system performance. This method increases overall efficiency and extends the lifespan of the energy storage components. By optimizing energy capture and management, the system becomes more adaptive, reliable, and effective in harnessing solar power. The integration of fuzzy logic and hybrid storage represents a significant advancement in maximizing the potential of renewable energy technologies, providing a more sustainable and efficient solution for solar energy applications. This innovation enhances the effectiveness of solar power systems in real-world scenarios.

Abstract:

This work investigates the performances of a photovoltaic and wind-for-water pumping system designed to improve water accessibility in rural and agricultural areas, particularly within the Mediterranean region. By combining solar and wind energy, the system maximizes energy capture across diverse environmental conditions, addressing the intermittency challenges typically associated with standalone renewable energy sources. Through detailed simulations, the study evaluates the system's energy efficiency, water output, and operational reliability. The integration of advanced energy storage solutions and a fuzzy logic control strategy (FLC) further enhances the optimization of PV and wind power, ensuring consistent and efficient performance. This hybrid configuration not only stabilizes the system but also exemplifies the importance of renewable energy production and water management using techniques used to the unique climatic and geographical characteristics of the Mediterranean region. The results demonstrate that the hybrid system offers a sustainable and resilient solution for agricultural irrigation and potable water supply. It represents a reliable alternative for off-grid applications, contributing to the sustainable development of energy and water resources in remote and rural areas while addressing critical environmental and resource challenges in the Mediterranean context.

Abstract:

This paper explores strategies to enhance energy efficiency, sustainability, and reliability through the integration of photovoltaic (PV) technologies, batteries, and fuel cells within hybrid energy systems. These systems capitalize on the intermittent availability of solar energy, the energy storage capabilities of batteries, and the flexible power generation of fuel cells. Photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into electrical energy, which can be stored in batteries for future use. When solar energy is insufficient, batteries and fuel cells operate simultaneously, reducing the strain on individual components and extending the overall lifespan of the batteries. The synergy between these elements results in a dynamic and optimized energy management approach. By leveraging the complementary strengths of PV panels, batteries, and fuel cells, these hybrid systems enhance reliability while promoting sustainability. This approach also addresses the limitations of single-source energy systems by mitigating power fluctuations and ensuring continuous energy supply, even in varying environmental conditions. Moreover, the integration of these technologies contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of energy production, aligning with global efforts to transition to cleaner and more resilient energy systems. The findings of this study highlight the potential of hybrid energy systems to revolutionize energy management practices, offering a viable solution for both residential and industrial applications. This comprehensive approach not only maximizes system longevity but also supports the development of a sustainable and efficient energy infrastructure for the future.
