Development of a prototype model for the planning of hybrid renewable energy polygeneration systems in off-grid communities
Hybrid Renewable Energy Polygeneration Systems (HRES) emerge as one of the solutions being developed to progress energy sustainability. These systems play an essential role in transitioning from nonrenewable energies to renewable energies (RE) since it provides a gradual transition between conventio...

Hybrid Renewable Energy Polygeneration Systems (HRES) emerge as one of the solutions being developed to progress energy sustainability. These systems play an essential role in transitioning from nonrenewable energies to renewable energies (RE) since it provides a gradual transition between conventional sources of energy and RE. Literature review found several software utilized to optimize hybrid polygeneration systems with each having their own limitations from the types of energies and technologies considered to their accessibility.
