520			_aExpanding access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity is a pressing matter in Somalia. Despite the country's negligible emissions, it faces challenges such as high energy costs and climate vulnerability. To address these issues, a comprehensive study has been conducted utilizing MATLAB simulation software and three advanced algorithms: particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), and simulated annealing (SA). The objective of the study is to determine the optimal designs for a hybrid renewable energy (RE) system in Mogadishu, Somalia, by considering various grid configurations and evaluating technical feasibility, economic viability, and system reliability. The study assesses four different system configurations, namely utilities - diesel-alone, PV-diesel hybrid, wind-diesel hybrid, and PV-wind-diesel hybrid. These configurations are evaluated across the grids of three utilities: Benadir Electric Company (BECO), Mogadishu Power Supply (MPS), and Blue-Sky Energy. In total, forty-eight different systems are analyzed to identify the most suitable configurations for the hybrid RE system. Among the evaluated configurations, the combined PV/wind/diesel grid optimized with PSO emerges as the most effective solution. This configuration showcases significant benefits, including a reduction in net present cost by 32-47% and a decrease in the levelized cost of electricity by 41-60% when compared to diesel-only systems. Importantly, the reliability of the system is maintained throughout these improvements. Additionally, the hybrid system leads to a substantial decrease in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with reductions ranging from 38-59% compared to conventional diesel-only systems. This study demonstrates the potential of hybrid renewable energy systems in addressing the energy challenges faced by Somalia. By integrating multiple renewable energy sources with traditional diesel generation, the optimized PV/wind/diesel grid offers cost-effectiveness, improved sustainability, and reduced environmental impact. Implementing such systems could serve as a catalyst for achieving reliable and affordable electricity access while mitigating climate change effects in Somalia.
