Abstract
On account of continuous increase in concerns about environmental deterioration and electrical usage, sustainable energy sources are being commonly used to generate power and offer several benefits like clean energy and reduced price. To meet the fast growth in power stipulation, major renewable sources must be attained. Though renewables present a long-term solution as an alternative to fossil fuels, they are associated with uncertainty in generating power. In this chapter, to overcome the above problem, a combination of energy bases will be able to be implemented called as HRES. Due to the relatively low environmental effects, HRES have become a major choice for rural electrification. In this work, an endeavor has been made to present the outline of role of HRES. This chapter will also dispense about the power control strategies, energy assessment of a hybrid system, and battery energy storage devices in electrical networks.
