The concept of hybrid energy systems has emerged as a distinct alternative in the past few decades, with the aim of enhancing the resilience and adaptability of energy systems to fluctuations and diverse energy sources. One of the principal objectives of hybrid energy systems is to mitigate the environmental repercussions associated with the generation and utilization of energy. Using more than one energy source at the same time, like solar panels, wind turbines, and combined heat and power (CHP) systems, has many benefits, such as higher efficiency, less reliance on fossil fuels, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. This study presents an optimal approach for the design of hybrid energy systems utilizing the Firefly algorithm within the given paradigm. Incorporated into the structure are vital components like wind turbines, solar panels, combined heat and power (CHP) systems, battery storage, and converters. Furthermore, it considers the various uncertainties pertaining to production capacity, demand, and costs. The firefly optimization technique is being employed to effectively identify the most optimal solutions within a context characterized by several uncertainties. The optimization results of this framework are demonstrated to be superior in effectiveness and efficiency when compared to those obtained from other optimization algorithms. This finding provides confirmation of the algorithm's effectiveness and efficiency in enhancing the performance and stability of hybrid energy systems.

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) have been introduced to overcome intermittent nature of single-source renewable energy generation. In order to utilize HRES optimally, two issues must be considered: optimal sizing and optimal operation. The first issue has been considered vastly in several articles but the second one needs more attention and work. The performance of hybrid renewable energy systems highly depends on how efficient the control of energy production is. In this paper, paradigms and common methods available for control and management of energy in HRES are reviewed and compared with each other. At the end, a number of challenges and future research in relation to HRES are addressed.
