This paper presents, for the first time, a triple multi-objective design of isolated hybrid systems minimizing, simultaneously, the total cost throughout the useful life of the installation, pollutant emissions (CO2) and unmet load.
For this task, a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) and a genetic algorithm (GA) have been used in order to find the best combination of components of the hybrid system and control strategies.
As an example of application, a complex PV-wind-diesel-hydrogen-battery systems has been designed, obtaining a set of possible solutions (Pareto Set).
The results achieved demonstrate the practical utility of the developed design method.
