Sustainability Assessment of Hybrid Renewable Energy System: A Case Study from Indian Perspectives

Hybrid power plants have proven to be a profitable energy system for supplying significant value of electricity or power from generated plants to the electrical system of grids, mainly as renewable energy shares in systems rise from 10 to 20% or more, and the prices of solar photovoltaic instruments, wind energy instruments, and battery storage all keep on falling. The purpose of this investigation is to describe various sustainability tools that may be used to identify renewable energy technologies for distant region power delivery. To comprehend the environmental, economic, and social ramifications of these technologies, various sustainability tools such as the life cycle assessment (LCA) for environment, life cycle costing, along with social assessment approach, and eco-efficiency analysis can be employed. While the different techniques may be useful in their own right, the study's objective and goal will determine their relevance. The eco-efficiency strategy was proven to be supportive in selecting environmentally friendly technologies with the least environmental cost for distant area power supply. All these pieces of work are substantial research endeavors, and more work is required to prioritize them.
