Abstract
This PhD thesis models a renewable-based hybrid power supply system ap-
pliedinanislandedcontextandinvestigatessizingandregulationstrategies
of such a hybrid system. First, various marine energy production technolo-
gieswerereviewedandcomparedtocommonrenewableresources. Aswell,
various energy storage technologies were reviewed, compared, and evalu-
ated to fit the chosen site characteristics. A brief investigation on offshore
energy transmission and inverter regulations methods is presented. Then,
a study of the site characteristics, and the availability of the different renew-
ableenergyresourcesintheareaarepresented. Thisenergystudyconstitutes
the basis of the proposed system sizing method, where minimizing the cost
andtheCO2emissionsareconsideredasthemainobjectives. Furthermore,a
fuzzylogicpowermanagementapproachisproposedfortheislandedmicro-
grid. Finally, a detailed study of the system components grid-side inverter
regulationispresented. Threeregulationlevelswereinvestigated: thesingle
inverter,therenewablefarm,andthehybridsystem. Inthiscontext,different
regulationstrategiesareconsideredateachlevel.
