Hybrid energy storage systems as a sustainable energy source

Abstract

The use of fossil fuel power plants will contribute to emissions and environmental pollution, which has an impact on air and environmental pollution. Applying hybrid energy systems can help reduce the emission footprint and improve the stability of local electricity networks, especially in services with high energy consumption. Hybrid optimization of multiple energy resources (HOMER) is a simulator that simulates using renewable energy with the hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES). The simulation produces a system with the most appropriate combination of photovoltaic (PV), wind power (WP), and converter. The combination of PV-WP produces an economical choice for providing electrical energy in a particular location. The hybrid PV-WP model can save about 40.8% less than the current condition. The investment can be returned in 10.11 years, which is recommended for similar conditions in other areas. This positive impact can provide incentives for policymakers in the implementation of a hybrid system that can neutralize emissions and environmental pollution.
