Abstract
This article thoroughly investigates the design and optimization of an off-grid hybrid renewable energy system for a remote town in the province of Ankara, whose traditional power infrastructure is lacking. The goal is to provide an efficient and cost-effective energy system that can supply the village's power needs indefinitely. The optimization process entails selecting the best mix of renewable energy sources and sizing components to obtain the best economic and technical performance. To handle the complexity of the optimization problem, the Nelder-Mead simplex search method is used, taking into account the stochastic nature of renewable energy generation and the nonlinear features of RES-based power plants. The simulation results show that the suggested hybrid system outperforms traditional diesel power generators in terms of economic viability and environmental sustainability. The system assures consistent power supply by using reserve energy devices such as batteries, thereby minimizing the intermittent nature of renewable sources. With a competitive energy cost of €0.63/kWh, the optimized hybrid system ensures a dependable and continuous power supply, fulfilling the village's electrical requirement for an amazing 16 years.
