“…Energy sources may be renewable or conventional combined, or energy storage devices. Hybrid renewable energy systems may work connected to the grid (grid-on) where the main priority of the system is to cover the sites' full electrical load and if surplus is generated supplying the grid, or as grid-off systems that produce energy separately from the grid in remote sites [4]- [5]. HOMER simulates the behavior of energy-power delivering systems and their cost during the lifecycle, which is the amount of money spent for a system and the costs of services over its life cycle; each of these possibilities are modeled by HOMER.…”

-This article deals with sizing of hybrid renewable sources applications that are suitable in remote areas where grid connection is unavailable or connection to grid is expensive. Depending on the size of installed capacity of each photovoltaic, wind power and small water power plant, such a system can be used to power small systems with hundreds watts consumption and also can be used to supply entire villages where the connected load has a power in the order of up to megawatts. All depends on the installed performance of different sources, types and sizes of the storage device and the equipment, to be an island power system. Such hybrid renewable sources systems are strongly dependent on the weather conditions of the site of their construction. The present paper is about a small grid-off system that powers a small single house. This house is modelled as family house with a two-membered family. The system consists of a photovoltaic cell field, a wind turbine, a small hydroelectric power plant, and a battery bank as a cumulating source. This system is designed to power a whole daily consumption load without electricity outages.Keywords -Grid-off systems, hybrid renewable source, photovoltaic, small hydroelectric power plant, wind turbine.

“…Wei (2008), [9] further used the approach of genetic algorithm to determine the optimum sizing of a PV-Wind hybrid system. Also, Ashok (2007), [10] designed an optimized model to add wind, solar and micro-hydro hybrid energy. The algorithm senses wind velocity, solar radiation and load requirement to actually control the hybrid system.…”

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the cost benefit of a self-optimized solar-wind-hydro hybrid energy supply and to compare the outcome with a similar optimization done with the HOMER software. In reality HOMER optimization software has long been used for hybrid system optimization and many do consider it as the reference software for any optimization related to hybrid energy systems. However, due to some few lack of flexibility in the setting-up of constraints and also the ignorance of the true optimization approaches used by the HOMER, it has become necessary to develop selfoptimized algorithms based on rigorous mathematical models. One of these self-optimized models, developed in a previous study, was presented in this paper and was tested with data collected at Accra, Ghana. Results show that the cost of electricity proposed by the HOMER, 0.307$/kWh, is slightly lower than the one obtained through the self-optimized method, 0.442$/kWh. Moreover looking at the dynamism of selecting different sources to achieve the optimization at a lower rate for the user, more credit is given to the developed method than the HOMER because the self-optimization method gives more priority to the wind turbine than the solar plant due to the higher electricity cost of solar (0.64$/kWh). It was however observed that the HOMER software does the opposite in terms of priority. Moreover the probability of unmet load is lower with the self-optimized method than the HOMER result which consists of a big contribution because it is a major quality measure for hybrid systems to always satisfy the load request.
