This document discusses various types of hybrid energy systems that combine renewable and conventional energy sources. It begins by introducing hybrid systems and their benefits in addressing power shortage issues in India. It then provides examples of different hybrid combinations, including wind/PV, PV/hydro, biomass-PV-diesel, and PV/solar thermal/grid-connected systems. For each type of hybrid system, it outlines the basic configuration and operating principles. It also includes equations and calculations for estimating power output from various renewable sources and sizing the system components.
