Abstract
Because of the nonrenewable conventional sources of energy and rising of energy prices, these kinds of energy sources are not responsible to meet increasing of demand any more. So the use of on-grid hybrid systems for their unique characteristics has increased. These forms of organizations would result in reducing of transmission losses, pollution and the ability to exert energy management. This report introduces an economic model for the fuel cell, photovoltaic panels and wind turbine. Three sources of energy beside the local grid can respond to all variations of demand. Since sources of energy should change their productions according to the demand variations, we call it sources' response. The model consists of the cost of supplying energy, cost of recovered thermal energy from the fuel cell, wind turbine power production cost, solar power generation cost, cost of exchange power with the local grid and the cost of maintenance. Finally, it is trying to minimize total cost by the help of three different evolutionary planning methods. Encouraging results promise the use of hybrid systems in supplying residential load in near future.
