Towards greener horizons: a comprehensive review of energy auditing in hybrid solar and wind systems

The intermittency and dependability problems with renewable energy sources have drawn a lot of attention to hybrid solar and wind energy systems. This study offers a thorough analysis of the development, present developments, and potential future applications of hybrid wind and solar systems, emphasizing the vital role energy auditing plays in improving system performance. According to our data, modern hybrid systems may improve energy efficiency by about 25% while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40% when compared to standalone systems. Furthermore, the capacity factor of these systems has increased by 30% as a consequence of the integration of cutting-edge control mechanisms and energy storage technologies. The significance of data analytics and machine learning in energy auditing which may enhance system optimization by an extra 20% is also covered in this study. Case studies show that hybrid systems are a competitive alternative to conventional energy sources because they can attain better capacity factors and lower levelized energy prices. These results highlight the potential of hybrid systems to make a substantial contribution to the generation and management of sustainable energy.
