Energy flow modeling between grid and micro-hydrokinetic-pumped hydro storage hybrid system

Koko, S.P.; Kusakana, K.; Vermaak, H.J. (IEEE: International Conference on the Industrial and Commercial Use of Energy (ICUE), 2017)

This paper proposes an optimal energy management model for a grid-connected micro-hydrokinetic pumped hydro storage (MHK-PHS) hybrid system supplying the commercial load. The aim of the model is to minimize the energy ...
Grid-interactive micro-hydrokinetic with pumped-hydro storage: The case study of three South African demand sectors

Koko, S.P.; Kusakana, K.; Vermaak, H.J. (IEEE: International Conference on the Domestic Use of Energy (DUE), 2017)

This paper investigates the operation of different demand sector such as residential, commercial and industrial load profiles when supplied with a grid tied micro-hydrokinetic pumped-hydro storage (MHK-PHS) hybrid system. ...
IMPACT OF DIFFERENT LOAD PROFILES ON SIZING AND PERFORMANCE OF A MICRO-HYDROKINETIC-BATTERY BASED HYBRID SYSTEM

Koko, S.P.; Kusakana, K.; Vermaak, H.J. (Stellenbosch: Conference: Proceedings of the 25th Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference, 2017)

Hydrokinetic hybrid systems are gaining more interest since hydrokinetic technology has proved to offer a cost-effective electrification solution. Very few research studies on sizing and optimization of micro-hydrokinetic-battery ...
