The increasing demand for electrical energy is causing conventional energy supplies to become insufficient, leading to power outages especially in remote areas. Additionally, the reliance on fossil fuels for energy contributes to global warming. There is a pressing need for additional renewable energy sources to meet these energy needs. Hybrid Energy Systems (HES), which combine two or more energy sources, offer a promising solution. This study aims to analyze a PV-generator hybrid system connected to the grid in several cities in East Nusa Tenggara. The hybrid system configurations are modeled using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) software. Simulation results indicate that the performance varies across cities due to environmental parameters. Among the cities studied, Alor demonstrated the highest efficiency and best energy production according to economic analysis and energy output data.

Electricity is fundamental to both urban and rural livelihoods. However, with the impending depletion of fossil fuels, an urgent transition towards sustainable and environmentally friendly renewable energy sources is necessary for electricity generation. The Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES), which amalgamates various renewable energy sources, offers a promising solution. This study investigates the economic viability of a photovoltaic (PV)-wind turbine hybrid microgrid system for off-grid electrification in five distinct cities in Papua, Indonesia. A simulation of the hybrid system was conducted using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) application, leveraging local solar and wind resource data. The simulation results indicated that Waropen city yielded the most optimal PV-wind turbine hybrid system, exhibiting the lowest Net Present Cost (NPC) of Rp397,591,000.00 and Cost of Energy (COE) of Rp 5,513.37/kWh. This system was capable of generating 9,098 kWh/year of electricity. Consequently, the proposed PV-wind turbine hybrid microgrid system emerges as an economically feasible solution for off-grid electrification in Papua, underscoring the potential of renewable energy sources in addressing the global energy crisis.

Electrification in rural areas is relatively costly compared to urban areas. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify the best combination of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs) to satisfy the load demand in a sustainable and cost-efficient way. The techno-economic study of stand-alone hybrid photovoltaic–wind turbine–diesel–battery-converter energy systems based on the hybrid optimization model for electric renewable (HOMER) simulation has been analyzed for various locations in the Tamil Nadu state, India. Various combinations of the systems have been compared and analyzed based on the performance of their technical parameters, costs, the electrical power production of each source, and unmet load. The findings indicated that the off-grid solar–wind–diesel–battery configuration is the most economical for all the sites among other system configurations. Comparing with conventional diesel generators among all the locations, a combination of solar/wind/diesel/battery is the economically best design for Thoothukudi, with the least and most reliable solution in terms of net present cost and cost of energy. Also, the impact of intermittent variables becomes significant, so sensitivity analysis for the various parameters has been carried out. The study finds that the least cost of electricity and the net present cost of electricity for Thoothukudi are achieved at 0.266 $/kWh and 138,197 $, respectively. This is economical compared to a stand-alone diesel system where the obtained COE is $1.88 and the NPC is $977523. In the stand-alone diesel operating mode, 41854 kg of CO2 is produced, which is higher than CO2 emissions associated with any other renewable energy systems. According to the results, the Kanyakumari location outperforms in terms of producing environmental pollutants with emission of 1,020 kg/y CO2 at their best. Moreover, the results of the proposed study imply that the proposed renewable energy system in remote sites could be a more economical measure.
