dc.description.abstractUsing stand-alone hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) is sometimes more economical than extending the grid to electrify just a few households. However, over generation and over demand are two common issues in deploying renewable energy resources in a stand-alone system. The main objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology for optimal design of HRES. University of Calgary Spy Hill Campus was chosen as case study to test this methodology and the optimum size for each generation components of HRES was determined. It was shown that the HRES with the determined size has the minimum total cost while it is able to fully cover the electrical demand of the campus. For the optimization purpose, a new optimization algorithm was introduced and its capability to find the optimum size of HRES was validated.en_US
