The transition to renewable energy systems faces significant challenges in optimization, grid integration, and economic viability across diverse geographical and technological contexts. This study presents a novel hybrid artificial intelligence framework that integrates machine learning algorithms with multi-criteria decision analysis to optimize renewable energy system configurations. We developed a comprehensive methodology combining wind, solar, and energy storage technologies using real-time data from 15 demonstration sites across three climate zones. Our AI-driven optimization model achieved 23.4% improvement in energy yield efficiency and 31.2% reduction in levelized cost of energy compared to conventional optimization approaches. The framework successfully integrated diverse renewable sources while maintaining grid stability through predictive load balancing. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations (r=0.847, p<0.001) between AI-optimized configurations and improved system performance metrics. The interdisciplinary approach demonstrated that combining technological innovation with economic modeling provides robust solutions for sustainable energy transitions. These findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on intelligent renewable energy systems and offer practical implications for large-scale deployment. The methodology addresses critical gaps in renewable energy optimization while providing a scalable framework for diverse geographical and economic contexts, supporting global energy transformation initiatives.
