Abstract

Abstract: The study summarizes the research conducted worldwide on the design and implementation of hybrid energy systems combining wind and solar energy to generate reliable and sustainable electricity. In general, wind and solar energy sources are used independently to generate electricity. However, it is clear that generating electricity by combining different renewable energy sources, called Hybrid Power System (HPS), will increase the system efficiency and provide a greater balance in energy supply. The use of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) for electricity generation is emerging as a better, more effective, higher efficiency solution than traditional energy sources and in this context can be considered as a system choice with high potential to contribute to the sustainable development goals (SDGs), low-carbon society and efficient use of energy globally in the near future. HRESs, consisting of combined solar and wind energy systems, are attractive and suitable for various applications and are most commonly used for electricity generation in rural and urban areas.
