The Solar Energy Laboratory (SEL) has developed a wind diesel PV hybrid systems simulator, UW-HYBRID 1.0, as an application of the TRNSYS 14.2 time-series simulation environment, The simulator provides a customizable user interface. The simulation provides an AC/DC buss, diesel generators, wind turbines, PV modules, a battery bank, and power converter. PV system simulations include solar angle and peak power tracking options. Diesel simulations include estimated fuel-use and waste heat output, and are dispatched using a least-cost of fuel strategy. Wind system simulations include varying air density, wind shear and wake effects. Time step duration is user-selectable. This paper provides a description of the simulation models and example output.
