Abstract: Increasing energy demand worldwide is directly related to the power generation process. Carbon emissions cum greenhouse gas emissions have direct contact with global warming and climate change. Energy generation from conventional power plants is the cause of a huge amount of environmental pollution. Different renewable energy sources are a great option to fulfil all the criteria as these are cost-effective, environment-friendly and abundantly found in nature. But renewable energy sources are varied in nature and for overcoming this problem; renewable energy-based hybrid system is a better solution. This paper reviews various challenges and recent developments in the area of the hybrid renewable energy system and also reviewing a backup system like pumped hydro energy storage system (PHES). We also discuss some real-world case studies of renewable energy-based hybrid power plants adopted in various parts of the world. This paper concludes with suggestions for future research opportunities in this field.
