Assessing the Potential of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems in Remote Areas: A Case Study Approach

Abstract

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are being investigated as a potential way to tackle the growing need for sustainable and environmentally friendly electricity in places that are not connected to the grid. When compared to systems that rely on a single renewable energy source, such as solar panels or wind turbines, these hybrid systems provide better economic feasibility, energy security, and reliability. the feasibility of using HRES to supply off-grid areas with renewable energy through an in-depth examination of a single case study. To determine the optimal mixes of renewable sources for particular outlying areas, the study considers a number of criteria, including as the ability to generate energy, the impact on the environment, the feasibility of the project financially, and the level of social acceptability. Further investigation into how smart grid systems and energy storage technologies can enhance HRES performance is also conducted. Results on the pros and cons of HRES implementation provide important information for communities, engineers, and politicians working to create long-term energy solutions for rural areas.
