Advances in Energy Hybridization for Resilient Supply: A Sustainable Approach to the Growing World Demand

Energy poverty, defined as a lack of access to reliable electricity and reliance on traditional biomass resources for cooking, affects over billion people daily. The World Health Organization estimates that household air pollution from inefficient stoves causes more premature deaths than malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS. Increasing demand energy has led dramatic increases in emissions. need limiting emissions drives research Resilient Hybrid Systems (RHESs), which provide cleaner through combining wind, solar, with fossil energy, increasing production efficiency reliability reducing generating costs Microgrids have been shown an efficient means implementing RHESs, some focused mainly the environmental impact electric power generation. technical challenges designing, implementing, applying microgrids involve conducting cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) evaluate these systems’ economic performance under diverse operating conditions resiliency. A sample RHES was developed used demonstrate implementation rural applications, where system can heating, cooling, lighting, pumping clean water. model findings be utilized by other regions around globe facing similar challenges.
