Hybrid vs. Standalone: The Complexity of Energy System Choices

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Our study, using HOMER simulations, highlights the complexity of choosing between standalone photovoltaic and hybrid systems. The research demonstrates that the optimal choice depends on multiple factors, necessitating case-by-case analysis. Simulations were conducted at two different sites with varied load profiles, revealing that local conditions, costs, and energy demands significantly influence system suitability. This research emphasizes the importance of comprehensive analysis in energy system planning, as the superiority of hybrid systems over standalone solutions varies across different contexts.
