Summary. Researchers designed a hybrid renewable energy system for a remote Philippine rural community by combining solar, wind, and existing micro-hydro power using HOMER Pro modeling. The optimal configuration adds solar panels, batteries, and a converter to the existing micro-hydro plant, costing PHP 3.98 per kW and delivering 24/7 electricity. The study provides technical specifications, cost calculations, and sustainability strategies for implementation.
