In this paper, an optimal design of the renewable combustion plant has been investigated with the aim of ensuring the required load on the Gorgor station. The purpose of this study is to minimize the cost of the proposed hybrid unit during the period of operation of the designed system simultaneously. Information on the intensity of solar radiation and the intensity of wind blowing in the area are taken and applied in the simulation of the system. The intended target function includes the cost of investment, replacement cost and maintenance cost. After the design phase, the main objective is to check the economic benefits of the project's utilization from the grid and compare it with the renewable electricity system, as well as to calculate the initial investment return in renewable electricity. First, the initial cost of consuming electricity from this project is calculated using a renewable electricity system, and then the cost of project is determined using the national grid. Further, by calculating the annual current cost of each of these combinations, the investment return in each mode is obtained. Various options for the use of renewable energies are surveyed separately and in combination. The technical-economic analysis is done on each of these options and ultimately the best one is presented.
