Article Synopsis
  • - Renewable energy systems are increasingly adopted for rural electrification due to environmental, technical, and economic challenges, with a focus on optimizing the system's size and cost.
  • - The study introduces a new Zebra optimization algorithm (ZOA) for designing and analyzing the techno-economic performance of off-grid power supply systems, evaluating configurations like PV-BAT, PV-WT-BAT, and WT-BAT for Ethiopian rural communities.
  • - Findings indicate that the PV-BAT system offers the most efficient solution with a specific size and minimal annual costs, outperforming other configurations and demonstrating ZOA's superiority over other optimization methods.
