This article reveals the Optimization of the Renewable Energy based Hybrid Mini-grid system to energize a village Kyein Ne Taung with 645 households. The feasibility of the project is analysed in HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) Pro. The site visit is carried out in July, 2019. The architecture of the proposed model comprises 160 kW PV System, 160 kW Wind System, 1320 kWh Battery Storage System, and 123 kW Converter. Regarding the current situation, the proposed Hybrid system can terminate 4500 tons per year and 2600 $ per year for Fuel wood cooking as well as 7000 litres per year and 8000 $ per year for Diesel fuel applications. By comparing with the Diesel Mini-grid to electrify the desired scenario, the proposed planning can save Diesel fuel 132,567 liters per year, Diesel fuel cost 132,567 $ per year, as well as reduce the GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions, including Carbon Dioxide 347,009 kg per year, Carbon Monoxide 2,187 kg per year, Unburned Hydrocarbons 95.4 kg per year, Particular Matter 13.3 kg per year, Sulfur Dioxide 850 kg per year, and Nitrogen Oxides 2,055 kg per year. Therefore, simulated results prove the available Sustainability benefits, and the reliable performance of the proposed system. This research can be useful as the reference of the affordable and modern Energy planning for other Coastal villages in Southern Myanmar.
