Summary. Researchers developed an optimization algorithm for designing hybrid renewable energy systems that serve off-grid rural communities. The algorithm minimizes energy costs and power outages while maximizing energy matching efficiency. Testing showed it reduced levelized energy costs by 6.27% compared to standard software and delivered significant carbon savings. The approach proves computationally efficient for feasibility studies in rural electrification projects.
