ABSTRACT
The potential for developing energy-efficient operations for renewable energy systems has increased with the expansion of renewable energy sources. As a result, creating advanced optimization and optimum control mathematical models will be necessary to handle the difficulties related to their integration into the grid. This study develops an enhanced optimization and optimal control model for the energy-efficient operation of renewable energy systems based on photovoltaic (PV) and hydropower. The created model takes into account the economic element while integrating an optimization method to address the energy management issue of PV systems. PV system operation is optimized taking into account a variety of operational restrictions using economic objectives like profit maximization and cost minimization. To further simplify energy balancing and lower risk, a hydropower energy system is also taken into consideration. Furthermore, by forecasting the ideal PV output and hydropower generation for various economic purposes, a dynamic optimum control approach is created to discover the best operational strategy for the systems. Case studies are used to evaluate this sophisticated optimization and optimum control model, and the findings show how effective it is at lowering operating expenses for the operation of renewable energy systems in an energy-efficient manner.
