Keywords:
Hybrid Wind–Solar System, Energy Storage Systems (ESS), Large-Scale Integration, Renewable EnergyAbstract
The rapid growth of renewable energy generation has led to increased interest in hybrid wind–solar energy systems for large-scale power system integration. However, the inherent intermittency and variability of wind and solar resources pose significant challenges to grid stability, reliability, and power quality. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) have emerged as a critical solution to address these issues by enabling efficient energy balancing, peak shaving, and load leveling. This review paper presents a comprehensive analysis of energy storage integration in hybrid wind–solar systems, focusing on various storage technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen-based storage. The study examines different energy management strategies, control techniques, and optimization approaches used to enhance system performance and ensure seamless grid integration. Furthermore, key challenges including high capital cost, lifecycle limitations, and operational complexity are discussed, along with potential solutions. The paper also highlights recent advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning for predictive energy management and optimal storage utilization. Overall, this review emphasizes the crucial role of energy storage in improving the efficiency, reliability, and large-scale deployment of hybrid renewable energy systems, paving the way toward a sustainable and resilient power infrastructure.
