A Literature Review on Hybrid Solar and Wind Power Generations System

The increasing demand for electricity, coupled with the detrimental environmental effects of fossil fuel consumption, has spurred the advancement of renewable energy technologies. Among the various renewable energy sources, solar and wind energy stand out as two of the most prevalent due to their abundance and sustainable nature. Nonetheless, these energy sources face inherent challenges related to intermittency and variability, which are largely influenced by fluctuating weather conditions. Hybrid renewable energy systems offer a promising solution to these challenges by integrating multiple renewable sources to enhance reliability and efficiency. Specifically, a hybrid solar-wind power generation system utilizes both photovoltaic panels and wind turbines, allowing for the generation of continuous electrical power. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive literature review of hybrid solar-wind power generation systems, emphasizing aspects such as system design, optimal sizing, energy management, and performance analysis. The review synthesizes contributions from a variety of researchers, illuminating the advantages and limitations of these hybrid systems while also considering future developments in the field.
