In this context, the configurations that proved to be the most
reliable design options are hybrid systems that combine different
generation resources [3,5] and distribution microgrids, where the
energy is produced in a certain point and distributed through an
electric grid to other consumption points [6,7]. Hybrid systems
improve the system efficiency and reliability of the energy supply
and reduce the energy storage requirements compared to systems
comprising only one single renewable energy resource [5]. Distribution
through microgrids could lead to an important decrease in
the final cost of the system in comparison with independent generation
points, i.e. a demand point that generates energy just for its
own consumption, and enhance the flexibility of the system [6,7].
However, in scattered communities with isolated users the combination
of independent generation points and microgrids is
generally the cheaper design solution [8].
When considering hybrid systems and distribution microgrids,
the complexity of the design increases and requires the use of
optimization/decision support tools [9]. Many tools have been
developed in recent years in order to define the best combination of
energy resources in one point but without designing the distribution
through microgrids [5,9e13] and several software tools are
available for designing hybrid systems, such as HOGA, HOMER and
