“…Effat et al [11] used SRTM digital elevation and spatial solar and wind speed data to model the potential solar and wind energy zones in Egypt. Furthermore, Adetoro et al [12] conducted a comparative analysis of hybrid system operational efficiency in Nigeria, using a multi-meta-heuristic approach to optimize sizing and levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Their study involved evaluating various algorithms to determine the most effective combination of components, including PV, WT, BG, and DG.…”

In the face of escalating global energy demands and growing environmental concerns associated with conventional energy sources, integrating renewable energy systems has become imperative. Solar and wind have become key contributors to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future among these renewable energy sources. However, their intermittent nature, unpredictability, and infrastructural demands present significant challenges. Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) have emerged as a transformative solution to address these challenges. This paper conducts a comprehensive review of HRES, explicitly focusing on integrating wind and solar energy sources to address the limitations of individual systems. The review encompasses a systematic analysis, commencing with identifying optimal deployment areas for hybrid systems, considering geographic and climatic factors that maximize energy yield. Also, reviewed the in-depth exploration of the pivotal components. Additionally, the paper critically examines the crucial aspect of sizing HRES systems, shedding light on recent methodologies applied to HRES. Furthermore, the paper investigates modern advanced technologies used in HRES, particularly the latest analytical software, its methodologies, and the incorporation of effective designs for hybrid wind and solar systems. In addition to evaluating the current state of HRES technology, this article also discusses the scope of future research prospects and emerging trends in the field. It also contemplates integrating other renewable energy sources, such as biomass, with wind and solar energy according to the availability and advantages of these sources and other associated aspects. This paper will help understand the current developments in the field of HRES.

“…LF strategy has been identified to be cost-effective in locations with high renewable energy potential, while CC strategy has mostly shown to be suitable in areas with limited renewable resources. Furthermore, it was observed from our review of the literature that the dispatch approach adopted in most grid-connected hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs) that the grid acts as a reliable backup capable of delivering or absorbing surplus energy [47][48][49][50][51].…”

This paper takes a cursory look at the problem of inadequate power supply in the rural healthcare centres of a developing country, specifically Nigeria, and proffers strategies to address this issue through the design of hybrid renewable energy systems combined with the existing unreliable grid in order to meet the healthcare load demand, thus ensuring higher reliability of available energy sources. The simulations, analysis and results presented in this paper are based on meteorological data and the load profiles of six selected locations in Nigeria, using which hybrid grid-connected systems integrating diesel, solar and wind energy sources are designed with configurations to give optimum output. The optimised design configurations in the considered case study, Ejioku, Okuru-Ama, Damare-Polo, Agbalaenyi, Kadassaka and Doso, produce very low energy costs of of 0.0791 $/kWh, 0.115 $/kWh, 0.0874 $/kWh, 0.0754 $/kWh, 0.0667 $/kWh and 0.0588 $/kWh, respectively, leveraging solar and wind energy sources which make higher percentage contributions at all sites. The load-following-dispatch strategy is adopted at all sites, ensuring that at every point in time, there is sufficient power to meet the needs of the healthcare centres. Further works on this topic could consider other strategies to optimise general energy usage on the demand side.

“…Emissions have a very negative impact on the environment and result from fuel consumption (Marneni, et al 2015;Shakya et al 2022;Ali et al 2023;Adetoro et al 2023;Diab et al 2016). Carbon emission quantity is considered about 99.5% of CO2 emission of the total exhaust of fuel carbon.…”

The main research paper focuses on the optimal hybrid system using HOMER software in the central plant of Hassi R’mel. Indeed, the system is composed of PV panels, a battery bank, and a diesel engine, all of which are used to supply an industrial load. Hence, the present work proposes a solution to optimize the power generated by the power sources, maximize the photovoltaic source use, and minimize the use of the battery bank and the diesel generator. Moreover, the solution aims to guarantee the safe operation of the system components and continuity in the load power supply. These objectives are performed by the minimization of a cost function, in which the power generation cost, the energetic balance, and the environmental parameters are taken into consideration. Among the five solutions, the most optimal system obtained is PV/Diesel/batteries /Grid. This system consists of 1200 KW PV, an 1100 KW diesel generator, 800 units of battery, and an 1100 KW converter. Therefore, to supply the station with 49% of electricity by PV and 51% by diesel while the reduction of emissions is 60%, and 708020 liters of diesel is saved. Applying the sensitivity analysis also showed that renewable resources have an impact on the sizing of PV. When solar radiation increases, the size of renewable energy decreases and the NPC decreases as well. It can, thus, be illustrated that the PV/diesel/battery system is not fully-optimal. This strategy is recommended for industrial system security since it can be used to ensure systems from an energetic and economic point of view.
