Abstract

The performance optimization of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) is crucial for enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of energy production. This study focuses on the integration of real-time load forecasting prediction using a grey wolf optimization (GWO)-based predictive model. The proposed methodology aims to address the challenges associated with the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, by providing accurate forecasts for load demands and solar irradiance. Real-time data from sensors and environmental parameters are incorporated to forecast the energy load and solar irradiance over short-term periods, which are then used to optimize the energy storage and generation components of the HRES. The GWO algorithm, known for its high accuracy and computational efficiency, is employed to optimize the dispatch of power from various sources while minimizing energy losses and ensuring system stability. The integration of GWO with real-time forecasting not only enhances the predictive capability of the system but also improves the overall economic viability of HRES by reducing operational costs and carbon emissions. This study demonstrates the potential of using intelligent optimization techniques and real-time forecasting for the sustainable operation of hybrid renewable energy systems, contributing to the development of smarter and more resilient energy grids.
