Abstract

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES), particularly those integrating solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind technologies, have emerged as vital solutions for enhancing energy security and sustainability. This study aims to examine the evolution, thematic focus, and global collaboration trends in HRES research by applying a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Using Scopus data spanning 2009 to 24 May 2024, the study evaluates 162 carefully selected documents out of 1,023 initial records. Analytical tools such as Lotka’s Law, co-occurrence networks, keyword frequency analysis, and cluster mapping are employed to explore publication patterns, author productivity, and dominant research themes. The field demonstrates a notable annual growth rate of 21.69% and an international co-authorship rate of 35.14%, indicating expanding global engagement. A significant portion of contributions comes from single-publication authors (93%), suggesting a wide range of interdisciplinary interests. Iran and India lead global research output, followed by Malaysia, Turkey, and China. Key themes identified include system optimisation, economic analysis, energy storage, and environmental sustainability. Influential authors’ contributions were identified to showcase the foundational development of the field. Cluster analysis reveals prominent areas, including rural electrification, techno-economic evaluation, and power converter control, underscoring the diversity of applications. The results affirm HRES as a rapidly advancing, multidisciplinary domain. Future research should prioritise region-specific system design, affordable storage technologies, grid integration, life cycle assessment, and stronger international collaboration. These focus areas are essential to accelerate the deployment of cost-effective and environmentally resilient hybrid systems across varied geographical contexts.
