Review of Optimal Design and Enhanced Hybrid Energy Systems Using Energy Management Strategies

Hybrid energy systems (HESs) have garnered significant interest in recent years because they combine many energy sources to enhance efficiency and dependability. This review article thoroughly examines the most effective design approaches and tactics for improving performance in hybrid energy systems through efficient energy management. The problem encompasses multiple aspects of HES design optimization, such as identifying the most efficient component sizes, choosing the most appropriate technology, and setting up the system. Furthermore, it involves implementing an energy management system (EMS) to optimize the system’s overall efficiency. Moreover, this article examines difficulties, current progress, and potential research prospects. A hybrid system, which integrates renewable sources with backup units, provides a cost-efficient, eco-friendly, and dependable energy supply and outperforms single-source systems in satisfying diverse load requirements. An essential factor in these hybrid systems is the precise evaluation of the ideal dimensions of the components to ensure that they sufficiently meet all the load requirements while minimizing both the initial investment and ongoing operating expenses. This study extensively examines suitable methods for determining the proper sizes, as the current body of literature describes. These methods can significantly enhance renewable energy systems’ economic feasibility and practicality, promoting their wider adoption.
