Summary. Researchers designed an optimal hybrid renewable energy system for rural electrification in Anggi District, West Papua, Indonesia. Using HOMER software, they compared five configurations combining diesel generators, hydropower, solar, and batteries. A hybrid system with diesel, hydro, solar, and battery storage proved most cost-effective and environmentally sound, reducing emissions by 4,372 kg annually compared to diesel alone while achieving 67.7% renewable energy fraction and lowering energy costs to $0.311/kWh.
