Abstract

The paper introduces hybrid photovoltaic/wind/diesel generation systems for supplying remote power plant taking into account the enhancement of the sustainable energy on the economic point of view, too. In particular, a cost investment evaluation is performed on a real plant showing the effect and the weight of sustainability economical saving. The possibility to introduce a fuel cell generation device is also investigated and the results are reported and discussed in the paper on the basis of calculation made on the existing plant for supplying telecommunication apparatus.
