Indonesia has great potential in New Renewable Energy (NRE). Nowadays, the development of EBT is expedited so it can substitute fossil energy. However, the number of EBT is bounded by the energy potential in a region. One of several ways to maximize the production of NRE is by developing a hybrid system. In order to make the hybrid system operate correctly, the smart microgrid is required to know the number of loads needed and the energy management system. In this research, the reviewed location is East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province due to this region has a low electrification ratio. Based on the NRE potential in NTT, a hybrid hydro and solar power plant system is developed in this research with generator biodiesel (B30) support to increase the reliability of the system. The implementation of this hybrid system is floating solar PV in a dam. In the process, the development of a hybrid system uses the HOMER Pro software by comparing all the possible configurations for a hybrid system. Furthermore, this research also compares several simple schemes for controlling the hydro energy based on the result of dependable discharge calculation using F. J. Mock method. Moreover, the economic variable also becomes the consideration parameter in the development. Based on the simulation and optimization from HOMER Pro, the most optimal system consists of 2.6 MW hydro energy, 14.45 MWP solar PV, 14 MW biodiesel generator, and 31.0 MWh li-Ion battery to fulfill 99,048.6 kWh total load each day with load following control dispatch as the energy management system. This system has a 90.75% renewable fraction.
