Abstract

Abstract The current paper introduces a realistic solution for energy demand in Makadi Bay, Red-Sea, Hurgada, Egypt using energy system crossbred of Renewable Wind Energy System (WES) and Photovoltaic System (PVS) in the presence of Battery Energy Storage (BES). A real measurement for wind speed was recorded through a year of 2017. Also, the sun irradiance and temperature were recorded through the same period, to be considered for the output power calculations from the proposed crossbred renewable energy system. The demand load data for the city was recoded as well as through the same period for evaluating the feasibility of the system if it can cover the city loads. Linear TORSCHE optimization technique has utilized to reach an optimum solution of the proposed crossbred renewable energy system. Individual configuration of PVS & WES in presence of BES have been studied and compared with the hybrid PV/WT. Furthermore, economic analysis has presented to prove the best economical system. The obtained results show that installing such hybrid system consists of WES, PVS and BES is cheaper than installing each one individually.
