Hybrid energy systems (HESs) are an excellent solution for electrification of remote rural areas where the grid extension is difficult or not economical. Usually, HES generally integrate one or several renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal with fossil fuel powered diesel/petrol generator to provide electric power where the electricity is either fed directly into the grid or to batteries for energy storage. This chapter presents a review on the solution approaches for determining the HES systems based on various objective functions (e.g. economic, social, technical, environmental and health impact). In order to take account of environmental and health impacts from energy systems, several energy optimization model was developed for minimizing pollution and maximizing the production of renewable energy.

The energy demand within the world has improved for a few reasons because of technical advancements, increasing enterprises, and increasing commercial energy consumption. Sufficient energy models will support the accurate use of renewable resources like solar, wind, biomass, biogas, and the fuel cell is a portion of the advantages used. Hybrid energy systems of these advantages will contribute viably to sustainable development and electrification in rural areas that do not access power grids. This study reviews the performance analysis of hybrid system along with conventional resources for sustainable development in remote areas. This paper also reviews the recent trends in energy usage from available renewable energy sources in addition to examine an expansive review of the performance analysis of different hybrid energy technologies in rural areas. It is also discussed the relative investigation of hybrid energy systems along with conventional energy sources particularly suited to the small and isolated areas supported by the literature. In continuation of this, the paper also discusses the future energy sources.
