Abstract: Renewable energy sources (RES) are natural energy sources that do not deplete with time. These energy sources are characterised as decentralised, modular, flexible technologies, closer to the load, and having smaller production capability. RES suffers from some drawbacks like reliability owing to its intermittent nature and high initial investment costs. To mitigate these drawbacks, hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are proposed in research studies. Different methodologies that operate these HRES at the optimal with their mathematical modelling, different algorithms (artificial intelligence and meta-heuristic) are reviewed in this paper. According to the literature survey, more researchers are giving attention to adjusting reliability and cost of energy separately or in the combination of both. On the other hand, environmental effects are critical issues for the globe in this century but have not given more attention.

Keywords: hybrid renewable energy system; HRES; optimisation techniques; reliability; cost; environmental impacts.
