Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2019 This thesis consider a case study of a PV/wind/battery hybrid energy system installed at Scanmatic ASheadquarters in Arendal, Norway. The energy system is a stand-alone and off-grid hybrid system. It consistof four PV panels of 20 W with different tilt and orientation, a wind turbine of 300 W and a battery of1.4 kWh. This work consider machine learning and artificial intelligence in Python 3 for prediction andoptimization. Machine learning is used to predict the power production from the system components basedon the weather data at site. Artificial intelligence is used to optimize the system size based on cost and theabilit…
