Through The Combination Of Several Sources, Hybrid Energy Gains Highlight Among Researchers For Contributing To A More Sustainable Society
Even though there has always been a wide variety of natural resources on Earth, only now, with the rapid and advanced development of studies and technologies regarding sustainable energy generation, is it possible to create techniques to take advantage of all this energy diversity in a hybrid manner. Therefore, the hybridization of a society is hypothetically proportional to the degree of technological development of that society.

In this case, hybridization refers to energy efficiency, such as the exploration of the complementarity of the most varied sources, through technologies that revolutionize the sector and can recognize the best sustainable combination in order to optimize performance. Thus, in a situation where there is wind, it is time for wind energy; in cases where there is no wind, another source automatically kicks in to replace production.
As Ricardo Lagares from PUC Rio states at Exame website, through artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, it is possible to establish sustainability as a priority focus, provided that the system operates in a completely safe manner for that. This way, energy generation will operate sustainably and contribute to developing a more suitable model, not only for humanity but for the planet as a whole, marking a true evolution.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.
According to Lagares, for the near future, in a span of a few years and decades, it is important that we are prepared as a society to receive an energy system that includes generation, distribution, and transmission in a hybrid manner.
How Will This Hybrid Energy System Function?
In generation, multiple sources will be connected together to promote a “flat” energy in the wire. Regarding hybrid distribution, there will be a market with more freedom and proactivity, with many players, supported by distributed generation. In transmission, the hybridization process will also occur, taking into account the studies and preliminary indications of Nikola Tesla and, currently, several researchers who continue to study innovative energy transmission methods.
Why Choose Hybridization?
Hybrid energy conveys the idea of balance. According to great thinkers in history, this would be the most positive and healthy conduct for humanity or any other individual. Within science, balance would be the origin of stability in chemical and physical systems. Therefore, utilizing a hybrid energy chain through technology and resources sustainably ensures a better future for all. Currently, it is already possible to connect various thermal, solar, wind, natural gas, hydroelectric, biomass, waste-derived energy sources, and others, promoting vast options for possible combinations, according to the location and context in which it is inserted. Thus, a more sustainable, safe, and reliable energy matrix is formed.
