Summary. Researchers designed and optimized a hybrid solar-biomass renewable energy system for rural electrification in Sarawak, Malaysia using Homer software. They collected local solar radiation and biomass resource data, assessed electricity demand, sized system components, and calculated costs. Simulation results showed optimal configurations with net present costs of $6.18 million for residential systems and $9.45 million for animal farm systems, with simulation costs within 7-9% of theoretical projections.
