Smart Hydro Energy Hybrid System

Smart Hydro Energy Hybrid System (SHEHS) is a hybrid energy system, which represents an interconnection of a small hydroelectric (HE) power plant and a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant. The Critical Period Method (CPM) is used for system sizing. If the total energy production is lower than the energy demand, a critical period should be defined by the biggest difference between demand and production. The period (day) in which that difference appears is called the critical period. If this period (day) is met (satisfied), all the remaining days of the year are also met (satisfied). Any possible breaks in energy production, caused by a reduction in expected river flow rates or insolation (in case of the cloudiness), will be reduced to a minimum. Use of such a hybrid system guarantees the production of electricity throughout the year. By building such a hybrid system, it comes to the realization of the Smart City and enables energy stability and security. Despite the fact that Croatia has great potential with regard to the large number of available watercourses and solar energy, such hybrid system has never been applied. Matter of fact, CPM has never been applied in world.
