Summary. This study optimizes hybrid renewable energy systems combining solar, wind, and energy storage for a commercial building in rural Cameroon. Using three optimization algorithms, researchers compared PV/Wind systems paired with thermal or pumped-hydro storage. The Cuckoo Search Algorithm performed best. PV/Wind/thermal storage proved most cost-effective, while Wind/pumped-hydro storage delivered the highest reliability and lowest emissions, offering a viable alternative to fossil fuel power plants.
