The integration of renewable energy resources into the electric grid is very important, based on recent grid codes that require renewable energy sources to remain grid connected, despite their stochastic nature. A hybrid energy system, including solar power systems and wind turbines, is a very interesting technology. It is more reliable and often yields greater economic and environmental returns than stand-

The goal of this book is to present recent works on the concept, control, and applications in hybrid renewable energy. Developments in this field are rapid, accompanied by many difficulties that require solutions. In this book, different solutions are proposed based on new techniques of control and advanced technol-

The book is intended for researchers in the field of design of hybrid renewable energy. For anyone working in the development of renewable energy systems, it is

• In the first section, we present a modeling and simulation of wind turbines and a thermodynamic analysis of wind energy systems. This section consists of four

• In the second section, a review of hybrid renewable energy is represented, which compares and discusses the state-of-the-art progress of solar

thermochemical fuel generation and the characteristics of different systems, which may give technical insight into the development and improvement of solar fuel generation by thermochemical approaches in the future. This section

• In the third section, we present social, economic, and environmental impacts of renewable energy systems. The aim of this study is to analyze the thermal performance of the passive solar house. To this effect, indoor and outdoor conditions of the house, which include air temperature, relative humidity, and

The contributions of this book reveal the importance of the subject matter. The aim of this book is to provide new trends of research into renewable energy, and to present recent challenges in the implementation of hybrid renewable energy topologies. We hope that readers will find this book a unique and significant source of
