Popis: Electricity and transportation sectors are responsible for a significant percentage of the global energy-related greenhouse gases emission, and their emissions are increasing at a faster rate in comparison to other sources. Among all the sustainable solutions to energy-related emissions, Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES) are becoming a more effective option for rural electrification and other energy-related applications. This paper presents a novel approach for the performance analysis of HRES for electricity generation for typical household electricity generation and application to mini electric campus shuttle. Different benchmark models are employed in the modelling, simulation and validation of the designed HRES. The simulation results obtained on the designed HRES demonstrated the effectiveness of all the adopted methods in enhancing the modelling accuracy of renewable electricity systems in electricity generation. The technical analysis of the system based on the simulation and the validation results demonstrated that the system could deliver the full electricity demand of typical household as well as, the total electricity demand of BSC-P1 electric campus shuttle. Additionally, 100% Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) charging was achieved and the battery capacity was never reached at all-time indicating the viability of the system in supplying uninterrupted power to the electricity demand.
