Abstract: Research into renewable hybridized PV/Wind/Hydro with pumped hydro storage (PHS) options is rarely investigated in the literature for meeting a community’s electricity demand in Newfoundland, Canada. The pumped hydro storage-based hybrid system is compared with the battery-based configurations. A detailed techno-economic and environmental potential of hybridized energy systems with the pumped hydro storage are examined over conventional battery storage and diesel-only systems. The study also investigates the effects of uncertainty of renewable resources, load data, and hydro resources on the sizing of the hybrid system.
