Abstract

This study investigates the hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) to meet the energy needs of off-grid rural communities using the HOMER simulation software. The biomass is ensuring both energy reliability and environmental sustainability. A representative rural load profile and locally available renewable resources are considered to evaluate different system configurations. Simulation results reveal that a properly sized hybrid system significantly reduces emissions while providing cost-effective electricity.
