(Non)conventional hybrid systems

The paper goal is to analyze conventional and non-conventional hybrid systems, their impact to environmental issues, possibilities and advantages of using this type of technology. The world energy demand is increasing. A huge percentage of the world's energy is still derived from ecologically unacceptable sources of energy ; especially fossil fuels that are still the dominant source of energy. Fossil fuels are slowly disappearing and their usage is causing more environmental threats and growing energy demand. In that reason there is a need for more environmentally friendly transport fuels to replace fossil ones. Today, there is a strong awareness and orientation in transport industry to renewable energy sources that are sustainable and free from greenhouse gases like solar, wind, small hydro, bio etc. Development of conventional and non-conventional hybrid systems are one step forward in achieving common goals in reducing CO2 in transport industry. Conventional hybrid systems is primarily a combination of internal combustion engines and intelligent electric drive systems, while non-conventional hybrid systems combine two or more sources of energy for the purpose of balancing their characteristics, and because of the greater system reliability. Since they are currently in the experimental stage, only a few systems can be found in the world, mainly in the automotive industry.
