Renewable energy demand such as solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal, which are the least
harmful to nature and natural life, has increased due to the depletion of fossil fuels used in energy
production and the greenhouse gases they have released to the environment. Thus, with the
inclusion of renewable energy sources in the system, a rich structure in terms of energy diversity
has emerged. A region simulating a hybrid system with an annual average electrical energy need
of 3997104 kWh/day was selected using HOMER Pro software. Solar radiation and wind data
belonging to the region were taken from NASA Surface. The hybrid energy system consisted of
a generator, wind turbine, solar panel, hydrogen tank, electrifier inverter, and battery system. The
energy produced by the resulting system was used by 11.26 kg/day hydrogen load and 3997104
kWh/day electrical load. The economic evaluation criteria of the hybrid energy system were the
cost of energy production, the net present value (NPC), and the payback period. The
environmental evaluation criteria were determined as the renewable energy rate and emission
values. When the renewable energy rate was at the lowest level, the most economical system was
the Gen/PV/WT/Bat/300Htank/Hloaded hybrid system when emissions were not considered,
while the Gen/PV/WT/Bat hybrid system had the lowest emissions without considering the cost.
When the renewable energy rate was higher, the most economical system was the PV/WT/Bat
hybrid system when emissions were not considered
