Abstract
Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmentally friendly and sustainable nature. However, one major challenge associated with these systems is their intermittent nature, which makes it difficult to rely on them as a consistent source of energy. To address this challenge, researchers have developed a combined system that incorporates wind and solar resources with a battery as a storage device, which can provide a sample load pattern independent of the grid. The primary objective of this system is to determine the optimal economic combination of these resources, which can ensure a reliable and consistent supply of electricity. To achieve this objective, the Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA), a metaheuristic optimization algorithm, has been used to optimize the system. The objective function has been implemented in accordance with the constraints, and the results provide insight into the optimal combination of resources. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the design and optimization of a wind-solar hybrid energy system with battery storage, using the COA, as well as the results of this analysis. The outcomes indicated that the optimal hybrid system model may be able to reduce system costs by 10–25%. This research's findings can be used to inform the design of sustainable and dependable renewable energy systems.
