چکیده
Alternative Energy is becoming a popular and an essential energy resource in the current century. This paper investigates the effect of using a hybrid microgrid system in Langkawi and Socotra Islands. Configuration of the optimal hybrid system is selected based on the best components and its sizing with appropriate operation strategy to provide a cheap efficient, reliable and cost effective system. The total net present cost for the two Islands has been determined using HOMER program based on the Island’s data. This finding will help to install sources of renewable energy in places that will ensure low cost and performance of hybrid systems. The comparison of the annual yield for renewable energy with the cost of production considering pollution is an important factor that can be used to develop an environmentally safer and cleaner renewable energy source

Resilient operation of microgrid is an important concept in modern power system. Its goal is to anticipate and limit the risks, and provide appropriate and continuous services under changing conditions. There are many factors that cause the operation mode of micogrid changes between island and grid-connected modes. On the other hand, nowadays, electric vehicles (EVs) are desirable energy storag...
