The integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into grid-connected systems has become pivotal in addressing climate change and building a sustainable, carbon-neutral society. However, challenges like power quality issues, grid stability, and fault ride-through (FRT) requirements remain significant. This study explores strategies to enhance FRT capabilities and improve power quality in hybrid energy systems. It emphasizes the role of advanced devices such as Dynamic Voltage Restorers (DVRs), EV charging stations, and energy storage solutions. The effectiveness of these technologies is analyzed under various fault scenarios, highlighting improvements in transient response, voltage stability, and harmonic reduction. Additionally, hybrid energy systems, combining multiple RESs and backup sources, are proposed as viable solutions to address intermittency and system reliability. MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations validate the proposed approaches, showcasing their effectiveness in mitigating grid disturbances and maintaining operational efficiency. The findings underline the importance of innovative control strategies and hybrid configurations in ensuring a resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure.
