Diesel-based electricity production is relatively expensive in small autonomous power systems which rely on fuel imports. In such systems, the introduction of renewable energy technologies can effectively reduce overall production costs, through fuel savings. However, the penetration of...

We compare two models to determine the size of grid units and dispatch in a wind-diesel power system with hydrogen storage. Both take as data 1-year time series of hourly wind speed and electricity demand, and their objective is to minimise cost. Our first model, based on linear programming,...
