Cover Story: In this study, a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) is evaluated that integrates wind, solar, pumped hydro, and hydrogen storage to achieve water and energy self-sufficiency on Skyros Island, Greece. Three configurations were simulated to assess their technical, economic, and environmental performance. The combined storage system met 99.99% of water demand and 83% of electricity needs while simultaneously reducing CO2 emissions by over 9600 tons annually. With energy costs below EUR 0.10/kWh and a 10-year payback period, the system demonstrates a viable path to sustainability for isolated communities. View this paper
