The results obtained highlight the feasibility and competitiveness of the proposed system configuration in comparison to the current situation. Their analysis in HOMER was based on two energy demand scenarios consumer demand with energy efficient devices and consumer demand without. Emphasis is given on a detailed energy analysis being the basis for sustainable development. Its use in stand-alone or off-grid microgrids for both the urban and rural communities has commenced. Hydrogen as an energy carrier and energy storage medium has gained enormous interest globally in recent years. The excess electricity is used for fresh water production via sea water desalination. A 100 renewable energy-based stand-alone microgrid system can be developed by robust energy storage systems to stabilize the variable and intermittent renewable energy resources.
HOMER ENERGY AUTONOMY GENERATOR
The proposed system configuration includes commercial wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, batteries and an internal combustion-electrical generator consuming biogas.

based on autonomy days that have been underline by Client. Agathonisi) which faces serious energy and water shortage problems is investigated. Solar Hybrid system was designed using HOMER simulation software. For that reason, a small Aegean Sea island (i.e. The objective of the present work is to investigate the possibility of achieving energy autonomy in very small (tiny) islands based exclusively on the use of RES. Future work should focus on non-technical dimensions, open models and data.

Levelized costs of electricity for local energy autonomy are 0.41 /kWh on average. Nowadays, in most non-interconnected islands the electricity generation cost is extremely high due to the utilization of outdated autonomous power stations (APSs) based on oil-fuel imports and diesel-electric generators. The most common models HOMER and EnergyPLAN should be extended in future studies. Renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind, solar and biomass can provide reliable energy services and direct benefits at both national and local levels.
HOMER ENERGY AUTONOMY DRIVERS
Increase in global energy demand, depletion of fossil fuels and environmental issues related to current major power generation patterns have proven to be highly effective drivers for a substantial shift towards renewable energy applications.
