This study analyzes the integration of Hybrid Solar Power Plants, Battery Energy Storage Systems, Hydrogen Fuel Cellss, and Diesel Generator on Baranglompo and Laelae Islands in Indonesia, optimized using the HOMER Pro software. These islands rely heavily on diesel generators for electricity, resulting in high operational costs and frequent outages. The introduction of renewable energy sources such as solar power, supported by battery storage and hydrogen fuel Cellss, aims to optimize the energy supply. The simulation results highlight the economic and environmental benefits of hybrid systems, demonstrating significant reductions in Net Present Cost (NPC), Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), and emissions compared to the existing diesel-based systems. Model 1, which combines PV Solar Cells, BESS, and Generator Diesel, offers the most optimal performance, while Model 2, incorporating Hydrogen Fuel Cellss, requires further adjustments. This research provides a framework for improving energy sustainability on remote islands through hybrid power systems.
