The escalating concern of global warming, primarily caused by an excessive presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth’s atmosphere, along with the limited accessibility of fossil and nuclear fuels on a worldwide level, has intensified the necessity to explore alternative energy sources in order to fulfil forthcoming energy requirements. The investigation of alternative energy sources is of utmost importance in mitigating adverse environmental impacts and addressing the continuously growing need for electricity. The demand for renewable energy sources arises from the convergence of environmentally sustainable power generation and the economic considerations associated with non-renewable energy. The article offers a comprehensive analysis of the research conducted on the modelling, optimization, and control aspects of a self-contained hybrid power system. It also provides an extensive review of the various methods utilized for maximum power point tracking hybrid systems
