混合能源系统被用来为城市、农村和偏远地区提供电能，以克服太阳能和风能资源的间歇性。混合可再生能源系统包含两种或多种基于可再生能源或化石燃料单位的发电选项。混合系统的技术经济分析对于可再生能源的有效利用至关重要。由于多发电系统，混合系统分析相当复杂，需要进行彻底分析。这需要用于系统设计、分析、优化和经济可行性的软件工具。本文介绍了19个软件的主要特点和现状。研究的软件有 HOMER、Hybrid2、RETScreen、iHOGA、INSEL、TRNSYS、iGRHYSO、HYBRIDS、RAPSIM、SOMES、SOLSTOR、HySim、HybSim、IPSYS、HySys、Dymola/Modelica、ARES、SOLSIM 和 HYBRID DESIGNER。还回顾了在世界各地使用这些软件进行的与混合系统相关的研究工作。本文的主要目的是提供这些软件的现状，为研究人员识别和利用合适的工具进行混合系统的研发研究提供基本见解。还强调了不同软件的功能。还确定了局限性、可用性和进一步研究的领域。
Hybrid energy systems are being utilized for supplying electrical energy in urban, rural and remote areas to overcome the intermittence of solar and wind resources. A hybrid renewable energy system incorporates two or more electricity generation options based on renewable energy or fossil fuel unit. The techno-economic analysis of the hybrid system is essential for the efficient utilization of renewable energy resources. Due to multiple generation systems, hybrid system analysis, is quite complex and requires to be analyzed thoroughly. This requires software tools for the design, analysis, optimization, and economic viability of the systems. In this paper, 19 softwares with their main features and current status are presented. The softwares studied are HOMER, Hybrid2, RETScreen, iHOGA, INSEL, TRNSYS, iGRHYSO, HYBRIDS, RAPSIM, SOMES, SOLSTOR, HySim, HybSim, IPSYS, HySys, Dymola/Modelica, ARES, SOLSIM, and HYBRID DESIGNER. The research work related to hybrid systems carried out using these softwares at different locations worldwide is also reviewed. The main objective of the paper is to provide the current status of these softwares to provide basic insight for a researcher to identify and utilize suitable tool for research and development studies of hybrid systems. The capabilities of different softwares are also highlighted. The limitations, availability and areas of further research have also been identified.
