Frequently Asked Questions (15)
Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Hybrid simulated annealing–tabu search method for optimal sizing of autonomous power systems with renewables" ?
Methanol fuel cells were not proved currently effective due to their high cost, but in the future their use may be significantly expanded.
Q3. What is the life before replacement of a battery?
In the three types of controllable generators (diesel, biodiesel, and FCs), lifetime before replacement depends on the total number of their operating hours, as calculated by the simulation process.
Q4. What is the widely used aspiration criterion for TS?
The most widely used aspiration criterion removes a tabu classification from a trial move when a move yields a solution better than the best obtained so far.
Q5. What is the way to increase the efficiency of a generator?
In order to increase the overall efficiency of the system, it is better for these generators to operate at their maximum efficiency (rated power), even if the battery losses are taken into account, rather than operating with significantly less efficiency (power) in order to meet the load at each time step.
Q6. Why is Methanol selected as a fuel for autonomous power systems?
Methanol has been selected as FC fuel because it presents economic, environmental, and reliability advantages for autonomous power systems [21], while the overall FC efficiency has been considered 50%.
Q7. How long does it take to evaluate the COE?
The computational time for each COE evaluation is 3 s. Consequently, the evaluations of the complete enumeration method require approximately 362 years.
Q8. How many times out of 10 simulations is the same optimal answer?
The success rate of the proposed hybrid SA-TS is 80%, that is, 8 times out of 10 simulation runs the same optimal answer (i.e., 0.194 671 €/kWh minimum cost of energy) is obtained.
Q9. What are the optimal parameters for the laws of temperature decrease?
the optimal parameter values for the laws of temperature decrease are for the geometrical law, and for the adaptive law.
Q10. What is the termination criterion for the SA algorithm?
The termination criterion is satisfied either if reaches ,or after three successive temperature stages without any new solution acceptance.
Q11. Why were the TS iterations not proved effective?
Methanol fuel cells were not proved currently effective due to their high cost, but in the future their use may be significantly expanded.
Q12. Where is the data needed for the estimation of WT and PV performance?
The annual wind, solar, and ambient temperature data needed for the estimation of WT and PV performance refer to measurements of the Technological Educational Institute of Crete for the mountainous region of Keramia (altitude 500 m), in Chania, Crete, Greece.
Q13. What is the simplest way to simulate the evolution of a physical system?
In the SA algorithm, the Metropolis algorithm [23] is utilized for simulating the evolution of a physical system at a given temperature .
Q14. In what way is the local search method used to improve the quality of the results?
in order to improve the quality of results, in this paper, the conventional local search method has been replaced by TS.
Q15. What is the optimal solution for the tabu list?
From the study of Fig. 2 and Table V, it is clear that the optimal tabu list size is 6, as smaller tabu list sizes stick in a local optimum, while larger tabu list sizes do not search thoroughly the optimal solution neighborhood.
