This study presents a comprehensive review of hybrid energy systems (HESs), focusing on their integration in the modern energy landscape, technological advancements, maintenance protocols, and their role in sustainable development. Hybrid energy systems, which combine traditional and renewable energy sources, are emerging as a crucial solution to meet increasing energy demands while addressing environmental concerns. The review explores the evolution of HESs, highlighting significant technological advancements in system integration, energy storage, and efficiency improvements. Special attention is given to the maintenance protocols of these systems, underscoring the importance of predictive maintenance and advanced technologies in ensuring their longevity and efficiency. Environmental impact assessments reveal that HESs offer a reduced ecological footprint compared to traditional energy systems, primarily due to the integration of renewable energy sources. An economic analysis indicates that despite the high initial investment, HESs are cost-effective in the long run, offering potential returns on investment and energy savings. The future landscape of HESs is discussed, with predictions of increased adoption and continuous technological innovation. The study also emphasizes the need for supportive policy and regulatory frameworks to facilitate the growth and efficient operation of HESs.
