So, regardless of the case issue, the error message here is a copy/paste error and should say "ZoneHVAC: HybridUnitaryHVAC" not found.

I think I've found the reason why this is happening. In InputProcessor::getObjectItem all object names are made uppercase, but not other alpha fields.

GetInputZoneHybridUnitaryAirConditioners uses getObjectItem so it's name should be uppercase.

@LipingWang When this throws the errror, where is the call to HybridUnitaryAC coming from?
