Abstract: This research attempts to address the gap between the conceptual potential of hybrid energy systems and their practical implementation. The main objective is to develop a multi-variable model in Python to allow a new complete and comprehensive techno-economic analysis into the performance of hybrid power systems in a micro scale. The objective is to evaluate the influence of critical parameters, installed wind and solar power, energy storage capacity through pumping, reservoir storage volume and installed turbine and pump power, on the performance of the whole systems efficiency, flexibility and reliability. By changing main parameters in the developed model, it will be possible to recognize the performance, efficiency, feasibility, and economic costs of the system, and ultimately provide practical knowledge for optimizing and designing hybrid renewable energy solutions to meet different energy needs. This research covers the simulation, optimization and data analyses of hybrid energy solutions, combining wind, solar and hydropower energy sources with the energy storage technologies Pump Hydropower Storage (PHS).
