Abstract: The article contains current information on the development of energy-efficient technologies of wind–diesel hybrid systems (WDHS) for decreasing organic fuel consumption. As a result of the review, three research directions are identified: WDHS design optimization, the main equipment and control system improvements. A comparison of their effectiveness is presented. The methods of selecting WDHS configuration, equipment capacities and location, the optimization algorithms and objective functions used are described and WDHS project feasibility calculation results are presented. The methods to improve energy efficiency of WDHS major units’ (diesel generator (DG) and wind turbine (WT)) are considered. The methods to decrease diesel fuel consumption using special devices and energy storage system are presented. Special attention is paid to WDHS operating modes’ control methods and strategies, as well as to algorithms providing the efficient system operation. As a result, recommendations for the design of both isolated and on-grid WDHS are formulated.
