“…HOMER arranges the configuration results depending on the system configuration with the highest NPV (Net Present Value). As illustrated in Figure 7, the ideal system configuration outcome is defined by the highest NPV since it becomes the cost of the complete system over a given period [25].…”

This research proposes optimizing the energy harvesting system based on solar and wind energy, using the enhanced PV-Wind Turbine hybrid power grid to supply electrical energy somewhere in the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The analysis was conducted by researching the possibilities of wind and solar energy and gathering data from numerous sources. To examine the available data and the economic feasibility of the proposed hybrid power system, the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) program was employed. The scheme was simulated and optimized using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Hybrid Optimization System for Electric Renewables model (NREL). Various analyses are examined, such as Net Present Value (NPV), Energy Expenditure, Energy Output, Usage, and Excess Energy created by each component of the resultant system. The results gained via the installation of this hybrid system are fairly excellent due to monthly production optimization and minimal maintenance costs with potential investments.

“…Balachander and his team attempted to improve the hybrid electrical power network in 2020 to supply the electrical load of a residential unit in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The pattern of energy consumption required and provided for various electrical uses by the PV/Wind/Diesel Generator (DG) combination is taken into consideration when determining the load shape of the home [11]. The viability of a compact hybrid electrical Microhydro/Photovoltaic/Battery supply system for road illumination is being investigated by Natiq Abbas Fadhil in 2021 [12].…”

St. Lewis is one of the isolated communities situated in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). The easternmost province of Canada includes over seven thousand small islands with scattered populations. It brings various challenges to the electricity power supply companies, such as power outages and long resumption times due to the remote locations. Currently, three sets of diesel generators are supplying the electricity. The site is vulnerable to power outages if there is any malfunction of the generators or failure of the fuel supply through the trucks. Introducing an alternative energy source to the community can increase energy security and ensure livelihood for the residents. By utilization of the renewable energy, Greenhouse Gas Emission of rural communities can be largely reduced. This research aims to demonstrate St. Lewis as the epitome of hybrid renewable energy systems among those remote communities and the feasibility of alternative energy solutions for those communities.

Renewable resources are increasingly acknowledged as a crucial solution to address escalating energy demands and combat heightened greenhouse gas emissions within conventional energy systems. This research delves into the techno-economic feasibility of incorporating fuel cell systems into stand-alone hybrid systems tailored to electrify a community load situated in Annaba, northeastern Algeria. This load averages 6.9 kW of power and requires 165.59 kWh/day annually. Employing HOMER software, a comprehensive comparative analysis of four distinct hybrid power system configurations—namely PV/BAT, PV/BAT/DG, PV/BAT/FC, and PV/BAT/FC/DG—was conducted to pinpoint the most optimal solution in meeting energy demands. Parameters such as net present cost, energy cost, energy surplus, load satisfaction, and CO2 emissions were considered. Additionally, the study addressed the environmental impact and evaluated the impact of varying storage battery fleet sizes on the total cost of the power system. Among the configurations scrutinized, the PV/BAT/FC/DG hybrid system emerged as the most favorable option, striking a well-balanced compromise between PV penetration efficiency, energy cost, and system stability. Moreover, the findings highlight the benefits of integrating fuel cell technology into the hybrid system, including minimizing excess energy, reducing the necessity for DG interventions, and optimizing the size of the battery bank.
