Abstract

This research explores the novel design and simulation of a hybrid renewable energy system integrating photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines, and a diesel generator backup to address the energy demands of an independent hostel in Nottingham, United Kingdom. The system prioritizes minimizing long-term costs and emissions while maintaining energy reliability. A detailed load profile was developed to optimize battery performance, reduce reliance on diesel, and extend battery lifespan, thereby lowering operational costs. Voltage source control and load profile modeling were implemented and evaluated using MATLAB R2023b. Simulation outcomes demonstrated a significant reduction in the diesel generator's runtime, leading to lower emissions. Additionally, the integrated energy management system ensures safe battery operations, enhancing system efficiency, sustainability, and overall performance. This research underscores the potential of optimizing renewable energy integration within microgrids using Simulink.
