Summary: Solar photovoltaics have the potential to replace fossil fuels and contribute to lower-cost zero-emission energy systems. The initial benefits of providing solar power to the electricity system are significant, especially in deep decarbonization scenarios. However, the value of additional solar power decreases as cumulative solar capacities increase. Taking full advantage of low-cost solar energy requires the development and deployment of low-cost approaches to energy supply or electricity load shifting.

Summary: The climate crisis and energy price increases necessitate the design of greenhouses with a focus on energy supply. Local production of energy from renewable sources is one effective solution. The study explores the optimal design of a hybrid power generation system (photovoltaics/wind turbine/accumulators/oil generating unit) to meet the greenhouse's needs in terms of energy production quality, electricity price, and CO2 emissions. The research takes into account various factors such as production requirements, different energy equipment combinations, solar and wind potential, and energy demand.
