About this Research Topic
Renewable energy sources like geothermal, solar, and wind have received significant attention in recent decades as ways of addressing issues related to greenhouse gas emissions, energy shortage, and fossil fuel price fluctuations. Hybrid energy systems refer to the integration of several kinds of energy generation technologies like renewable energy sources, storage units, and electricity generators.
The hybrid energy systems could be applicable for various purposes such as power generation, heating, and cooling, desalination, hydrogen production, etc. There are some advantages to applying hybrid energy systems over stand-alone systems composed of a single technology such as extended longevity, improved flexibility, higher reliability, etc integration of different components in hybrid energy systems makes their design, simulation, and optimization more complex compared with the conventional systems. In this regard, it is crucial to take into account different factors and parameters for the mentioned purposes.
With respect to the exceptional attractiveness of hybrid energy systems and their benefits and advantages, it would be useful to devote more attention to these technologies. In order to have proper hybrid energy systems in terms of efficiency, economy, and environment, it is necessary to focus on the design and optimization of these systems. Regarding the performance dependency of hybrid systems, particularly the ones using renewable energy sources, consideration of optimal operation is necessary for the proper design of these systems. In terms of optimization and design of
hybrid energy systems, clear and detailed problem statements, accurate formulation, and consideration of appropriate metrics are necessary and important.
In this regard, the present Research Topic aims to gather high-quality and novel studies related to the design, simulation, and optimization of hybrid energy systems with a focus on optimal operation and its impact on overall performance. Review articles, original research, and technical notes with outstanding quality are encouraged to be submitted to this Research Topic.
