The Suitable Location for a Hybrid Renewable Energy Wind-Solar Power Plant: A Review by Bibliometric

Abstract

This bibliometric analysis aims to provide an overview of the research landscape related to the suitable location for a hybrid renewable energy wind-solar power plant by using AHP and GIS. The study used the Scopus database to identify relevant articles and analyzed them based on research trends, themes, key authors, journals, and countries. The results showed a growing interest in the topic, particularly in recent years, with an increasing number of publications. The most used research methods were AHP and GIS, and the most frequently addressed themes were site selection, renewable energy potential assessment, and optimization of hybrid systems. Key authors and institutions from Asia and China dominated the research landscape. The study suggests the need for more comprehensive and standardized approaches to site selection and renewable energy potential assessment, as well as the importance of considering local contexts and stakeholder engagement in decision-making processes. Future research directions could explore integrating other renewable energy sources and developing decision support systems for hybrid renewable energy planning.
