Hybrid electrical power systems consisting of a combination fossil fuels powered generators and renewable energy sources in standalone grid-off configurations are gaining prominence in remote communities where grid extension are difficult and often very costly. This paper focuses on the design of a hybrid power system in an outback community of South Australia - Oodnadatta. An optimal standalone hybrid power system comprising photovoltaics, diesel and propane is proposed with the lowest levelised Cost of Electricity (COE) with at least 10% solar contribution. The proposed hybrid system is designed with the HOMER software utilising average daily solar radiation values for the years 2007-2009 and estimated power consumption data. The existing conventional power system in Oodnadatta is also modelled to compare and contrast with the proposed hybrid system to assess its impact on COE and greenhouse gas emissions.
