The hybrid system is used in power plants by using more than one of system. Presently, utilization of the hybrid system growth and can be used in order to optimize the potential renewable energy resources at each locality. Generally, a home stay (household) is designed to utilize some of the potential of renewable energy in parallel, as energy saving measures. For the purpose study, simulation and optimization of hybrid system with the output target: estimate system capacity, lifecycle cost and green house gas (GHG) emissions are performed using Homer model software (Homer version 3.7.6). The hybrid system applied consisted of PLN grid, biogas generator, photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell (FC), wind turbine (WT), Li Bat, converters, controller, electrolysis and hydrogen storage tank. The simulation results showed that the most optimal system is hybrid system without a Li-Bat. The hybrid system components capacity are 7 kW of Biogas generator, 1 kWp of PV, 1 kW of FC, 1KW of WT, 5 kW of converter, 1 kW of Electrolysis, and 1 kg of H-Tank. Techno-economic parameters consist of Initial Capital ($ 13.100) were the highest of any other combination. COE ($ 0151), NPC ($ 86.197) and Operating Cost ($ 5.654) are lower than the other combinations. The IRR Value about 42.2% and the Renewable Fraction value about 61%.
