Research Trends in Hybrid Power Supply Systems for Standalone Houses

Abstract

This paper uses a bibliometric research approach to systematically analyse the tendences of research literature on Hybrid Power Supply Systems (HPSS) for standalone houses. The study explores the integration of hybrid energy solutions in residential applications, focusing on key areas such as design, supply strategies, and system control. A review of existing research reveals that while standalone energy systems are well-documented, studies addressing the combined aspects of hybrid system design, supply, and advanced control mechanisms remain limited. This gap highlights the need for more holistic approaches that consider the interaction between energy sources, management systems, and sustainability goals. Emphasis is placed on monitoring and control technologies, which are critical for optimizing system performance but are often explored in isolation from supply strategies. The analysis further shows that the complexity of research topics tends to narrow as more specific concepts are combined, resulting in significantly fewer studies that integrate all key aspects. Comprehensive studies addressing the full spectrum of hybrid design, supply, and control mechanisms are rare, with only one paper found in both Scopus and IEEE databases that covers these areas simultaneously. This indicates an important research gap and underscores the potential for future interdisciplinary work in developing sustainable HPSS for standalone houses in remote and off-grid settings.
