Site Matching of Hybrid Generation Systems
Ahmed Kamal EL-Din Ryad Othman;
Abstract
Fossil fuel is rapidly declining worldwide besides it is not available in all areas, renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydro…etc. can be used whenever possible to generate all or part of the required electrical power especially for a remote area.
Egypt has a promising renewable energy resources that can be used to generate electricity, for example wind energy is so promising in both the Mediterranean Sea coast and the Red Sea coast, and Egypt is located in the global Sunbelt which is suitable for using solar energy to generate electricity.
For remote areas where there is a difficulty to connect with the electrical grid, hybrid power system generation with one or more renewable energy source will be more efficient.
The purpose of this thesis is to present such a hybrid power system generation for AL-Arish based on the site meteorological circumstances as wind speed and average insolation level to select the optimum system components (wind turbine & photovoltaic module) which best match this site in order to harvest the most possible amount of energy to supply a remote load of 11 Kw, a telecommunication site and a desalination unit.
Hybrid Optimization Modeling of Energy Renewable Software (HOMER) is used to find the optimum hybrid system combination both technically and economically.
Along with the hybrid system components hydrogen fuel cell is used as a storage and a back-up instead of diesel generator and batteries through hydrogen tank as it has no environmental impact and also renewable.
