This paper presents a method for optimal sizing of a Micro grid connected to a hybrid source to ensure the continuity and quality of energy in a locality with a stochastically changing population. The hybrid system is composed of a solar photovoltaic system, a wind turbine, and an energy storage system. The reliability of the system is evaluated based on the voltage level regulation on IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 69-bus standards. Power factor correction is performed, despite some reliability and robustness constraints. This work focuses on energy management in a hybrid system considering climatic disturbances on the one hand, and on the other hand, this work evaluates the energy quality and the cost of energy. A combination of genetic algorithms of par ticle swarm optimization (CGAPSO) shows high convergence speed, which illustrate s the robustness of the proposed system. The study of this system shows its feasibility and compliance with standards. The results obtained show a significant reduction in the total cost of production of this proposed system.
