摘      要：This paper proposes a hybrid stochastic-robust optimization framework for sizing a photovoltaic/tidal/fuel cell (PV/TDL/FC) system to meet an annual educational building demand based on hydrogen storage via unscented transformation (UT), and information gap decision theory-based risk-averse strategy (IGDT-RA). The hybrid framework integrates the strengths of UT for scenario generation and IGDT-RA (hybrid UT-IGDT-RA) for optimizing the system robustness and maximum uncertainty radius (MRU) of building energy demand and renewable resource generation. The deterministic model focuses on minimizing the cost of energy production over the project s lifespan (CEPLS) and considers a reliability constraint defined as the demand shortage probability (DSHP). The study utilizes an improved arithmetic optimization algorithm (IAOA) to optimize component sizes and MRUs, incorporating a neighborhood search operator to enhance performance and prevent premature convergence. The deterministic findings revealed that the PV/TDL/FC system configuration offers the lowest CEPLS and the highest reliability level (lowest DSHP) compared to the hybrid PV/FC and TDL/FC configurations. Additionally, these results indicated that enhancing the reliability of the energy supply for the educational building entails higher CEPLS, particularly due to increased costs associated with hydrogen storage. The robust framework findings for the PV/TDL/FC system using IGDT-RA show that for an uncertainty budget of 21%, the MRUs for educational building demand and renewable generation are obtained at 10.34% and 2.65%, respectively, which are higher compared to other configurations. This indicates that the hybrid PV/TDL/FC system is more robust in handling worst-case scenario uncertainties. Furthermore, the hybrid UT-IGDT-RA outcomes found that the stochastic scenarios incorporated to simulate a range of uncertainties beyond the conventional IGDT-RA based-nominal scenario, and it provides a broader range of robust
