Fathy et al.1

PV/WT/BS/DG

SSO

Minimize COE and LPSP

Basic and clear strategy

The SSO algorithm suffers from poor exploitation, slow convergence, and imbalanced exploration and exploitation processes.

Belboul et al.2

PV/WT/BS/DG

MOSSO

Minimize COE and LPSP

More economic and reliable

Zhu et al.3

PV/WT/BS/DG/TCT

IMOGWO

Minimize CACS and DPSP

Fewer parameters, simple principles, and implementing easily

Poor local search capability and slow convergence rate

Jasim et al.4

PV/WT/biomass

GWCSO

Levelized Cost of Energy

Efficient random walks and balanced mixing

Slow convergence, low precision and poor local search capability

Samy et al.5

PV/ wind/ FC

Firefly algorithm (FA).

performance and the total cost

efficient and an easy-to-implement algorithm

Big tasks are difficult to put in Algorithms

Ghenai et al.6

PV/PEM fuel cell/DG

Modeling and simulation (M&S)

Providing energy for cruises in Sweden

Able to test a product or system works before building it

One significant downside of simulation is its lack of precision.

Fard et al.7

PV/ Battery System

HOMER software

Minimize COE and CO2 emission

Determine the best mix of resources for the least-cost solution

Homer need excess detailed data

Borhanazad et al.9

PV/ WT/ BS/DG

Find the best system configuration and sizing of components

The best algorithm

He did not focus on reducing the price of energy and CO2 emission

Ghorbani et al.10

WT/PV/BS

GA-PSO and MOPSO

Minimize costs and improve reliability

Falls easily into a local optimum in a multi-dimensional space and has a lower iterative convergence rate

The algorithm is capable of doing more tasks that they did not mention

Ramli et al.11

PV/WT/BS

MATLAB and HOMER

Electricity production and energy cost

System efficiency and capacity factors are included

Unclear optimization method

PV/ WT/ BS/ biomass

HOMER

Minimize LPSP

A simple PSCAD model is proposed.

Excess detailed are required

Ren et al.14

PV/ Fuel Cell/ BS

NA

Reducing CO2 emission

An important aspect studied is CO2 emissions

The method of action is not clear, as are the results

Nicu Bizon15.

It takes into account real weather data for the area

Fuel consumption is great

Gharibi et al.18

PV/FC/DG

Multi-objective crow search

Minimize COE and LPSP

Different RESs scenarios are presnted

The calculation method is very large, which wastes a lot of time in extracting the results

Amshidi et al.19

PV/FC/DG

Minimize COE and LPSP

Simple and easy to understand

Maleki et al.25

PV/WT/BS/DG

PSO

Reducing CO

A new topology is taken up in this article

Probability indicators are neglected

PV/Bio generator /DG/BS

HOMER

Minimize COE end CO2 emission

Taking into account the gases emitted

Complex simulation

Mahmoud et al.29

PV/WT / fuel cell

Marine predators algorithm

Minimize COE

Good strategy for the algorithm

Early convergence of the chosen algorithm, poor search ability, and stagnation in the local optimum.
