In this paper, four configurations of HRESs with energy storage have been designed and optimized in hybrid optimization model for electric renewable (HOMER) software for a remote community of Balnasari Qani village in Ghazni province, Afghanistan, upon on-site visit to determine the required electrical load and available energy resources. The site is located in a high mountain plateau and has potential to set up off-grid HRESs using solar, wind, and biomass resources. The optimized system is proposed to meet the electricity demands for 300 families. Results indicated that a HRES consisting of solar photovoltaic�biomass�diesel is the most optimal solution. This system is able to provide electricity at a levelized cost of 0.340�$/kWh with a net present cost of 411,491�$. Sensitivity analysis with parametric studies on the primary load suggested wind might not be a suitable energy source at the location. � 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Islamic Azad University.
