General :
Review on various issues related to Integrated Renewable Energy System !IRES"
based power generation#
Area covered:
Integration configurations,
Storage options,
Sizing metodologies and
System control for energy flow management
Key points:
Renewable energy is te most appropriate solution to supply energy in isolated areas#
%tilization of locally available resources is te best possible option to meet te energy
re&uirement# 'epending on te site conditions, single tecnology or aggregated
tecnology would be selected in stand-alone mode#
Single tecnology based system !solar potovoltaic(wind(small ydro" is a viable option
to supply energy in isolated areas#
$resently, rooftop solar potovoltaic systems are popular in urban areas to meet out
energy demand of a building#
Renewable energy resources are igly site-specific and intermittent in nature as some of
te energy sources are available in abundance during winter and oters during summer#
Single tecnology based system are associated wit ig system cost and low reliability#
In order to deal wit suc limitations of single tecnology based system, te concept of
Integrated Renewable Energy System !IRES" as been evolved for power generation in
stand-alone applications#
Integrated use of different renewable energy resources minimizes energy storage
re&uirement, increases reliability of power supply and &uality of power# )or stand-alone
applications, tese systems are always incorporated wit storage devices in order to
manage te stocastic beavior of renewable energy sources li*e solar and wind#

Key points:
'ecreasing feed in tariffs and system prices combined wit an increase of electricity
tariffs supports te trend to install $0 storage systems in private ouseolds#
In recent years several investigations ave been done to determine te optimal system
configuration# 5ey focus on te storage and $0 generator size or te applied storage
tecnology
If $0 production is larger tan te actual consumption, $0 power is stored# If te local
consumption is iger tan te actual $0production, stored power is used as long as
available
