Future of Energy Hybrid Technologies

Hybrid power systems (HPS) assure continuous power supply to the end users. These systems consist of more than one energy source like wind-diesel solar photovoltaic-diesel wind-photovoltaic and wind-photovoltaic-diesel with and without battery backup. According to different reports on global HPS market the market size was pronouncedly increased. This simply means that the HPS are being employed globally though at a slow pace. The HPS are reliable efficient low cost and have minimal greenhouse gases emissions where a wide spread applications of HPS was reported and presented a comprehensive overview of off-grid applications (such as health clinics schools water pumping meteorological and communication towers water purification rural telephony home systems grain grinding carpentry refrigeration lighting etc.) of hybrid systems around the globe. The hybrid systems basically depend on a large number configurations based on wind solar photovoltaics (PV) biomass micro-hydro fuel cell and diesel generation with or without battery backup.
