Abstract HOMER stands for Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables. Midwest Research Institute has the copyrights of this software. It was developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of United States. It is used to help the designing of various power plant configurations. It has different built in components in it such as PV panels, Wind turbines, Utility loads of various kinds, Generators, Converters and Battery Backup etc. It is used to simulate various schematics of power plants and then those schematics are simulated to find most optimized power plant configuration with respect to operating cost, net present cost (NPC), gases emission and economic comparison etc. The demand of electricity is increasing throughout the world. Needed to design some innovative new renewables energy systems which can decrease the dependence on conventional energy resources. A hybrid system is designed for the Baluchistan’s Seashore in which the designing of grid deals with wind, solar installation and converters installation which decreases amount payable to grid. Analyzing different cases and according to these cases we can evaluate their power generation, pollutant gases emissions, net present cost and average electrical production cost are estimated using HOMER Pro software. There are four kinds of results provided in the optimized results. For better visualization simulation results are given in graphical and tabulated form. The results are sorted in such a way that the proposed hybrid system design is the most economical in terms of operating cost, net present cost and gases emissions.
