The green sources of energy are mortal optimistic to reduce the environmental pollution and the global warming of the planet. An objective of 12% habit of renewable energy has been agreed by the UNO country members to achieve by 2020. So, the power of the renewable energy sources is being used to generate electricity both as grid connected and isolated hybrid power plants. This paper performed a pre-feasibility of renewable energy penetration into an existing diesel plant for powering a village domestic load of 200 kW. The solar radiation data and wind speed data used in this paper are for the place of Ervadi Ramathapuram (District), Tamil Nadu, India which is located 9.25° N longitude and 78.85° E latitude. All the necessary optimization and analysis of cost of energy are carried out using the assessment software package HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable). The outcome is offered and compared the cost of energy for before and after renewable energy penetration.
