Hybrid power systems
Hybrid power systems can use both renewable energy and fossil-fueled electricity generation techniques. Typically a hybrid power system combines a renewable energy system - typically based on photovoltaics or wind power generation - with battery energy storage, an inverter, and an engine-driven generator set fueled by diesel, biodiesel, gasoline, or another fuel.[1]
Currently, hybrid power is mostly applied to Rural Electrification Systems and Hybrid vehicles (Hybrid cars are the most common seen hybrid power system
used in our daily life).
