Abstract: Achieving sustainable development goals requires off-grid electrification of remote areas using sustainable energy systems (SES). However, capacity planning for SES is challenging due to the long-term need to meet fluctuating demand and the intermittent and unpredictable nature of renewable energy (RE) sources. The best system size for resilience and reliable load servicing of a 100% hybrid renewable energy system has been investigated in this study. The ideal system configuration for a hybrid solar PV, wind, and hydro energy system has been achieved by applying the multi objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) optimization technique to assess optimal size of the renewable energy system. The PV/Wind/Hydro system has the lowest NPC and COE with the best target capabilities among all the communities examined, provided the system lasts 25 years, according to the NPC study. The most ideal configuration (PV 88 kW, wind 18 kW, Hydro1 215 kW, and Hydro2 197 kW) investigated for deployment of hybrid power system at the specified site has NPC, total system cost, and energy cost of $163,238 and $517,141, respectively, and $0.35/kWh. Finally, the implementation of this innovative proposal demonstrated that reliable load serving is possible with 100% renewable energy without the use of an energy storage device.
