Multiobjective optimization for hydro‐photovoltaic hybrid power system considering both energy generation and energy consumption

Posted on by Leave a comment

Abstract Hydropower can be an ideal compensation for fluctuant photovoltaic (PV) power due to its flexibility. In this study, a multiobjective optimization model considering energy generation and consumption simultaneously for a hydro‐PV hybrid power system is proposed.
