Abstract

Approaches to harnessing energy from renewable sources, such as wind, water, oceanic waves, and solar, are garnering heightened attention. Although these technologies are often discussed in isolation, the hybrid approach holds great promise and represents a revolutionary advancement in energy generation. Integrated energy systems of this nature not only facilitate zero-emission power generation but also foster synergies among different approaches, ultimately enhancing power generation efficiency. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of renewable energy technologies, encompassing wind, hydro, oceanic wave, and floating solar energy systems. We delve into both the advantages and disadvantages of floating photovoltaic (PV) technology, as well as the intricacies of integrated offshore wind and wave technology.
