Abstract
Hybrid renewable energy systems combine two or more technologies that complement each other to generate clean and stable power output. These systems could be two renewable energy systems (e.g., solar and wind) or renewables with storage (e.g., with battery or thermal storage). Their advantage is that they offer flexibility, dispatchability, and baseload power. Hybrid systems, especially the combination of concentrated solar power and photovoltaic systems (CSP-PV), have been investigated for many years in attempts to address the challenges that the electricity system faces regarding the high penetration of renewables.
