The European countries heavily relied on Russian gas for electricity generation, but the sudden outbreak of war disrupted this dependency, leading to severe hardships. In contrast, many African countries face challenges with low rates of electrification and limited progress toward renewables due to a scarcity of technical expertise. To address these issues, sustainable hybrid power systems, which are crucial for achieving a decarbonized energy grid, offer a viable solution. The research delves into the motivation behind adopting sustainable hybrid power systems, reviews key aspects surrounding this topic, explores various renewable resources that can be harnessed for the grid and off-grid applications, and discusses essential considerations related to the planning, operations, and feasibility of implementing the SHPS scheme effectively.en© 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
