Feasibility and Optimal Reliable Design of Renewable Hybrid Energy System for Rural Electrification in Iran

Farshid Mostofi, Hossein Shayeghi · 2012

Summary. Researchers designed a hybrid renewable energy system combining hydroelectric, wind, and solar power with hydrogen storage to electrify 12 remote villages in northwestern Iran. Using local meteorological and geographic data, they optimized the system to minimize costs while ensuring reliable power supply. A genetic algorithm outperformed HOMER software in finding configurations that achieved energy costs below $0.30 per kilowatt-hour while accounting for equipment failures.
