Decarbonizing Rural Off-Grid Areas Through Hybrid Renewable Hydrogen Systems: A Case Study from Turkey

Ayşenur Oymak, Mehmet Rıda Tür · 2025 · Processes

Summary. A hybrid renewable energy system combining solar, wind, battery storage, and hydrogen was modeled for a rural off-grid settlement in Turkey. The system with all four components delivered the best balance of cost and performance, producing electricity at $0.340/kWh with carbon emissions of 36–45 gCO2-eq/kWh. Control strategies and component selection significantly affect system efficiency and hydrogen consumption, making hybrid hydrogen systems viable for decarbonizing rural areas without grid access.
