Glasgow Optimisation
Optimisation Process
The optimisation process used in this case study somewhat resembled that of case study 1 but with a few obvious differences. The first of these differences was the fuel cell optimisation. For the first case study this was automatically done by HOMER for the duration of the project lifetime. For case study 2 the fuel cell had a manually constructed fuel cell schedule consisting of times when the fuel cell was forced on and when the fuel cell was forced off. This method of optimising the output meant that the fuel cell output could be manipulated to give the desired output for the three scenarios.
