The reinvention of an energy hub’s planning by considering tidal turbine, bi-facial PV panels, and INVELOX: A unique outlook on the combination performance of novel RERs

Abstract

New approaches must be taken due to the rapid growth of societies globally and the urgent need for more energy, climate change, and global warming. One of these approaches is supporting and expanding new and efficient renewable energy resources (RERs). Therefore, this paper is dedicated to the energy planning and management of the proposed structure in which novel renewable-based technologies such as INVELOX wind turbines, Bi-facial photovoltaic (PV) panels, and tidal turbines (TT), in addition to the demand response programs (DRP) especially time of use (TOU), are investigated. The purpose is to simultaneously reducing the presented system’s overall cost and environmental pollution. The problem is modeled as mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) in GAMS software and solved using a CPLEX solver. The final results show that novel technologies recognized as efficient can significantly reduce contamination, expenses, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while supplying our rapidly growing demand.
