Abstract
Providing access to clean, reliable and affordable energy by adopting hybrid power systems is important for countries looking to achieve their sustainable development goals. This paper presents an optimization method for sizing a hybrid system including photovoltaic units, wind turbines and a hydroelectric pumped storage system. The optimization method depends on the high reliability of the hybrid power supply, small fluctuation in the energy injected to the grid and high utilization of the wind and solar complementary characteristics. Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is used to minimize the cost of energy while satisfying the operational constraints. A case study of a hybrid power system Ataka (Egypt) is introduced to evaluate the performance of the proposed optimization method.
