description Abstract Availability of a dependable electricity source is essential for improving living standards. When designing a micro-grid system, two key factors must be considered: cost-effectiveness and service quality. A major challenge in hybrid system design is balancing cost and reliability. To address this, a Renewable Energy System (RES) is optimized using a hybrid PV/Wind system with a diesel generator and battery storage. A novel hybrid harbor seal jellyfish searching (HHSJS) method is introduced for system configuration and component sizing. HHSJS seeks to address the problem with the investigation of the current harbor seal whiskers optimization algorithm (HSWOA). A temporal control technique is used to switch between JS and HSWOA operators throughout the search operation. The effectiveness of HHSJS is tested using 50 benchmark functions. Recent hourly wind speed data from two meteorological stations in Egypt: the Northwest Coast area and the New Valley Governorate. Despite the complexity of RES design, the optimal component sizing has been effectively determined for each location using HHSJS. This suggests that RES can be a viable solution for electrification projects, improving energy access in remote Egyptian regions and other developing areas with similar climates.
