A comprehensive system for evaluating the efficiency of green hybrid energy systems for small farms on the basis of the production pattern, energy consumption, and state of natural resources in typical small farms is elaborated, and a method for carrying out the assessment is defined. Six different structures of green hybrid energy systems are developed taking a small farm in southern China as an example. The developed energy system structures are compared using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and TOPSIS methods. It has been shown that the optimal hybrid energy system can fully and efficiently utilize the natural resources and wastes on the farm territory, and features significant economic and environmental advantages in comparison with alternative solutions.
