This paper presents a review of different schemes of hybrid energy systems (HES) in islanding mode for remote areas with a focus on solutions for remote electrification which are basically composed by one or a mixed of different energy sources and storage systems. The paper analysis the widely used mathematical approaches for optimization, sizing and modeling of HES for isolated electrification areas including the role of storage system. This paper also analysis the advantages and disadvantages of different solutions proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
