The Hybridization of Renewable Energy Systems in Nigeria

As the world's energy consumption continues to rise on a regular basis, the need for additional power generation will become unavoidable. In order to meet this need for electricity, renewable energy supplies must account for a large portion of the entire demand. In the form of a hybrid system, wind turbine technology paired with solar photovoltaic (PV) technology can play an important part in reducing our future energy consumptions while providing a cost-effective energy conversion system. According to this paper, the possibility of hybridising the various renewable energy sources available in Nigeria is being investigated, as well as the sustainability, challenges, and benefits associated with hybridising the various renewable energy sources (PVs and wind turbines) that are abundantly available in the country. The hybrid energy system, which consists of a combination of numerous energy resources that are readily available in Nigeria, is an excellent answer to the country's persistently erratic power supply. As a result, the quality of life will increase, which will help to reduce atmospheric degradation.
