Summary
<p>Today, all nations aim to reach 100% renewable energy use by 2050 and to completely end </p><p>their dependence on fossil fuels. One of the crucial steps to achieve this goal is the effective use </p><p>of solar-wind-based hybrid energy systems. However, energy storage solutions are needed to </p><p>increase the continuity of the systems. This study aims to evaluate the techno-economic and </p><p>environmental suitability of a solar-wind-based hybrid energy system to meet the electricity </p><p>demand of a residential area in Izmir. As a result of the analyses carried out within the scope </p><p>of the study, it was concluded that the installed power distribution of the hybrid energy system </p><p>is the most economical and feasible with 96.7 kW of solar energy and 12 kW of wind energy. </p><p>With this approach, it was concluded that it is possible to meet the entire demand from </p><p>renewable energy sources and that it is compatible with the 2050 targets. However, the high </p><p>system investment costs make it economically feasible only in regions with high potential.</p>
