“…This work tackled the economic problem of minimizing the energy costs of a standalone hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) project while taking into account several constraints, like the high efficiency, high dependability, and future expansion. The best results in the research region for NPV (10), NWT (5), NBT (33), COE (0.518 US$/kwh), LPSP (0.073%), Reliability (99.927%), and renewable factors (100%) were achieved with (66%) solar energy penetration and (34%) wind energy penetration. The findings demonstrated that the modified particle swarm optimization algorithm is exceptionally capable of solving objective functions for any difficult and nonlinear situations, as well as finding a global solution, and that it combines multiple factors.…”

With the rising need for utilizing renewable energy instead of traditional energies in electricity generation across the world, a broad assessment of these energies' performance is required to make the most of them everywhere. This paper looks at the techno-economics of renewable energy resources for a distant health clinic in a rural location of southern Iraq. Cost, dependability, and availability are the parameters that were considered in this study, which took into consider the power load in this scenario. Because of its efficacy, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique was chosen for the suggested study. Results showed that the respective optimal values for number of photovoltaics (NPV) equal to (10), number of wind turbines (NWT) equal to (5), and number of batteries (NBT) of (33), cost of energy (COE) of (0.518 US$/kWh), loss power supply probability (LPSP) of (0.073%), reliability (REL) of (99.927%) and renewable factors (RF) of (100%) with (66 %) solar energy penetration, and (34%) wind energy penetration. Finally, it was discovered that implementing a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) is an effective way to address the electrical demands of remote rural regions in Iraq and other developing countries with similar climates.

“…Figure 1 shows a remote rural school in Zerbattiya, a village in south-eastern Iraq near Iranian borders [16]. It has a population of about 7,000 people and is located at 45 o 51.7'E longitude and 33 o 24.2 'N latitude, with a 170 km 2 surface area and elevation of 95 m [16]. Many rural areas in Iraq, especially in the southern part, have limited access to the electricity grid.…”

In today’s modern world, any community anywhere has the right to have access to a basic level of electricity. It is with this in mind that efforts are being made to provide electric power to even the most remote locations. Solar and wind energy are examples of renewable energy sources that are both clean and versatile. For a distant rural school in south-eastern Iraq, this research presents Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to reduce the Cost of Energy (COE) according to maximum dependability of Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES), by utilizing an integrated electrical generation system. The suggested hybrid system consists of PV, WT, and BT, all of which are subject to a certain investment restriction. Results showed that, the optimal sizing of the Number of Photovoltaics (NPV) equal to (9), Number of Wind turbines (NWT) equal to (6), Number of the batteries (NBT) of (29), Cost of energy (0.536 US$/kwh), Loss power supply probability (0.091 %), reliability (99.909 %) and renewable factors (100 %) with (59 %) PV penetration, and (41 %) WT penetration. As a result, the use of the hybrid system is justified from a technological, economic, and humanitarian standpoint.

“…Using the HOMER software, it was determined that the electricity cost of the presented method was $0.238/kWh. Also, AL-Shammari et al [17] proposed a cost-effective hybrid energy system with a 100 percent renewable component, to meet the power demand of a rural health clinic in southeastern Iraq, using HOMER software. The proposed system, which consisted of photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, and batteries, was found to have a cost of energy (COE) of $0.547/kWh and a net present cost (NPC) of $72878.…”
