摘要：In power systems, meeting the electricity demand of remote regions is an imperative issue. Considering economic aspects, reliability and pollution concerns, combination of diesel generator and renewable energy sources like wind turbines (WTs), photovoltaic (PV) systems and fuel cells (FCs) can be an effective way to meet the demand of off-grid loads. In a cost-effective hybrid system, it is indispensable to optimize the number of components. In this paper, a PV/WT/FC/diesel system with different fuel prices is considered for electrification to a remote area and is optimized by a discrete simulated annealing algorithm, named DSA. The sizing problem is solved by considering different hybrid systems and two scenarios related to the cost of the diesel fuel.
