Simulations for wind, solar and pumping facilities and hybrid systems design with KOGAION

KOGAION is a computer modeling application that simplifies the task of designing distributed renewable energy generation systems - both on and off-grid. KOGAION´s optimization and sensitivity analysis algorithms allows to evaluate the economic and technical feasibility of a photovoltaic, wind and hydro turbines technology options and to account for variations in technology costs and energy resource availability. It´s adaptable to a wide variety of projects like wind, photovoltaic and hybrid energy systems, both for large on grid projects or small hybrid isolated projects (for a village, community-scale power systems or individual systems). KOGAION can model both the technical and economic factors involved in the project. For larger systems, it can provide an important overview that compares the cost and feasibility of different configurations. It is accessible to broad spectrum of users, from financial decision makers to engineers and others. More than other software applications, Kogaion supports all types of wind descriptions: by Weibull coefficients, probability of density function (pdf), time series (TS). Time references simulation is crucial for modeling variable resources, such as wind power. KOGAION´s sensitivity analysis helps to determine the potential impact of uncertain factors wind speed on a given system, over time. It doesn´t cover bio fuel, hydrogen, fuel cells.
