“…6,7 HWSES is an efficient solution for reducing the power generation fluctuations, smoothing the aggregate output power, and reducing the overall cost of the system by utilizing the same infrastructure). 8,9 The salient features of HWSES across the globe are tabulated in Table 1. Therefore, the performance of the hybrid system has to be assessed exhaustively to ensure the suitability and reliability of the project.…”

Aiming to net-zero emissions, hybrid power generation through renewable means has gained substantial attention across the globe. Considering the stochastic nature of renewable energy resources, a comprehensive performance assessment is a must prior to project development. Present work is a novel multidimensional 6E analysis (energy, exergy, economic, environmental, advanced exergy, and exergoeconomic) to evaluate the performance of hybrid wind-solar energy systems. The analysis is performed using long-tern (41 years) high-resolution ERA5 reanalysis resource data and the mathematical modeling by means of MATLAB R2018a computation software. The long-term data facilitates reliable and precise predictions of resource availability, power generation, and system performance during the lifespan of the project. The performance of HWSES in terms of capacity factor and exergy efficiency is computed to be 9.6–35.5% and 4.7–10.4% respectively, whereas the extended exergy efficiency lies in the range of 3.39–5.79%. Hybridizing wind power projects with solar power enhances the overall system capacity factor, exergy efficiency, and extended exergy efficiency by 3.46%, 5.12%, and 2.87% respectively. Hence, the hybridization leads to superior year-round system performance with smaller power fluctuations than the standalone systems. Further, wind, solar and hybrid systems would annually reduce the Specific Emission Reduction of 1128 tone/kW, 1685 tone/kW, and 1407tone/kW respectively. The present research will be helpful to the policy-makers and the project developers in the project feasibility study of hybrid energy systems.

“…One of the means to reduce dependence on fossil fuels is a more rapid transition toward energy dominated by renewable energy sources. According to the European Sustainable Development Report [3], Lithuania's achievements in the field of sustainable development and implementing the goals set by the United Nations are not good enough. According to the Lithuanian Energy Agency, 27.36% of the final energy consumption in Lithuania was met by renewables while the target was set at 30% by 2020 [1].…”

“…Solar-powered energy generation is very attractive for becoming a prosumer because of the relatively easy deployment. Wind and solar energy are seen as particularly promising for electricity production in terms of future development [3] toward climate neutrality. Nevertheless, in Lithuania, solar-powered energy generation took only a small share of 5% of total electricity generated using renewables in 2020 [4].…”

Many countries in the world pay special attention to the development of energy from renewable energy sources. However, the efforts made are still insufficient to ensure the desired pace of development. Moreover, independence from fossil fuels is more important than ever in the context of the war in Ukraine. Solar-photovoltaic energy production solutions are particularly attractive for achieving the desired scale of development due to their relatively simple deployment. However, to involve a larger number of prosumers – individuals and communities, it is necessary to further reduce the barriers to such an activity. Although researchers pay considerable attention to the development of energy from renewable energy sources, the topic of solar energy is not so well explored. In addition, it is noted that research on barriers that prevent development should be linked to the situation in a particular country. Therefore, the goal of the research presented in this work is to assess the importance of solar-photovoltaic energy development barriers specific to Lithuania. The literature review was carried out to consider specific barriers to solar energy development and to analyse barriers typical for the development of other sorts of renewable energy. This review allowed us to distinguish barriers relevant to more rapid solar-photovoltaic energy development in Lithuania, dividing them into five groups: (1) economic and financial, (2) policy and regulation, (3) institutional and administrative, (4) information, awareness, and social, and (5) technological barriers. An assessment of the barriers was based on the expert interview method. The individual evaluations of barriers and their rating determined their importance toward more rapid solar-photovoltaic power development in Lithuania. The results obtained during the research made it possible to single out the following main barriers specific to Lithuania: grid capacity and integration into electricity distribution grids; spatial planning and/or zoning rules; permitting, licensing, and approval procedures; changing and/or unclear policies; grid usage fees and their regulation; low electricity price and/or cost of other sources of electricity. In addition, insights into to the ways of their neutralisation or at least reduction were provided pointing out that it should be considered at both the state and municipal levels.

“…Since 2020, the decarbonization challenge is the main goal for one hundred eighteen countries around the world, especially these targets for solar technology requires high reliability, energy availability and low lost production, in countries as Denmark, Sweden, China, United Kingdom, Thailand, and other countries [ 1 ]. For instance, a special case is Nigeria, it has an aggressive strategy for the solar projects with ranking of all the technologies, strong regulations and key industrial [ 2 ].…”
