Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems

The field of renewable energy is moving towards the integration of multiple energy sources to enhance power generation, stabilize output, and reduce costs. Hybrid systems that combine wind, wave, and solar energy are being developed and tested, showing promising results in terms of energy production and cost reduction. The use of advanced control strategies, such as individual pitch control and supervisory feedback optimization, is also being explored to mitigate the underwater acoustic footprint of offshore wind turbines and optimize the performance of hybrid power plants. Noteworthy papers in this area include: Mitigating Underwater Noise from Offshore Wind Turbines via Individual Pitch Control, which proposes a pitch control strategy to reduce the underwater acoustic signature of offshore wind turbines. Advancing Offshore Renewable Energy: Techno-Economic and Dynamic Performance of Hybrid Wind-Wave Systems, which explores the benefits of combining an offshore floating wind turbine with a wave energy converter, showing significant reductions in power fluctuations and levelized cost of energy.
