Abstract
This article proposes a new algorithm called Nomadic People Optimizer (NPO) to find the optimal sizing of a hybrid energy system (HES), consisting of photovoltaic cell (PV), battery storage (BS), and diesel generator (DG). The HES supply the electricity to an academic building located in Thi-Qar Province, which is located in southern Iraq on latitude 31.06o and longitude 46.26o. The objectives of this algorithm are to reduce the total cost during the life cycle of the project, and this is an economic aspect that in turn reduces energy costs, the second goal is to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. While continuing to supply the electrical load with electricity throughout the life cycle of the project for 25 years. The results show that optimal sizing of the HES achieved by 1875 number of the PV,687 number of the BS, and single DG.
