The selection process combines Criteria Importance Keywords Through Inter-criteria Correlation CRITIC and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Techno-economic criteria to Ideal Solution TOPSIS as a solution method. This approach applicability was tested using Hybrid renewable energy system six HRESs under economic and technical criteria. Ten technical and nine economic criteria were CRITIC-TOPSIS simulated for the HRESs using HOMER. The results from the HOMER software show that WASPAS A5 PV wind battery and A6 PV battery had a renewable fraction of 1. The results obtained Simulation from the CRITIC method showed that the most important technical and economic criteria were diesel generator and total fuel cost respectively. .
