Comprehensive Review on Appropriate Sizing and Optimization Technique of Hybrid PV-Wind System

The energy consumption is increasing at an alarming rate due to the growth of world population. Hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) is becoming more trending as the sources involved such as wind and solar radiation to generate energy is environmental friendly, renewable and sustainable while cost free. Hybrid renewable energy is more reliable, stable and efficient compared to the single renewable energy. Furthermore, the limitation of energy production using single renewable energy will improve by combining two or more such system to form HRES. Solar and wind energy acts as a compensation for each other and the combination of these two systems will be able to satisfy energy demand to a certain degree. This review paper includes various and appropriate sizing and optimization techniques involved to optimize HRES in order to achieve the energy demand while minimizing the cost required.
