Abstract
In order to serve off-grid remote areas and hard-to-reach small communities in Brazil, the article aims to develop a hybrid system based on renewable energies to meet the needs of such areas, using the simulation software iHOGA. In this context, the article seeks to analyze the optimal configuration of the system, aiming to minimize CO2 emissions and the total system costs (NPC). The study area, a Extractive Reserve called 'Barreiro das Antas', is located in the state of Rondônia, and its data were obtained from the georeferencing tool NASA POWER. Based on the literature and the developed state-of-the-art study, the average consumption of basic needs for the community was determined to achieve better accuracy in the demand to be met. Various models of components were inputted into the simulation to obtain the best combination for the location. Ultimately, through the simulations, a system composed of photovoltaic panels, batteries, a diesel generator, and inverters resulted in an NPC of €9499.45 and CO2 emissions of 178.86 kg/year.
