      abstract = {Persistent fossil fuel combustion has a significant environmental impact. As a result, shifting to a renewable energy system or hybridization of alternative energy systems can help to minimize the harmful gases emitted by fossil fuels. The feasibility assessment of a hybrid PV/diesel and battery system setup in F.M Maitumbi village in Niger State, Nigeria is presented in this paper. The feasibility analysis was conducted using HOMER optimization software. The optimum hybrid PV/diesel system configuration shows how a significant amount of CO2 can be reduced, as well as the impact of PV penetration. Comparison of the system configurations of PV-diesel-battery, PV-diesel without battery, Standalone diesel and standalone PV system based with $0.4901/kW, $0.642/kW, $0.640/kW and $0.699/kW respectively as their cost of energy. A PV-diesel-battery Hybrid Power System (HPS) was designed for the geographical region under consideration, taking into account net present costs, energy expenses, CO2 emissions, excess electricity generated, and renewable penetration.},
