| Abstract | ||
| Egypt’s government has strived to develop the electrical sector in the five past years. Nevertheless, the border regions and remote areas (RAs) are still suffering from a lack of access to electricity.This study aims to propose the optimum hybrid technology system by using Renewable Energy Resources (RER)to obtain the necessary electricity for army camps (battalions) in (RAs) and focusing onNew Valley as a case study. In this respect, the technologies for providing electricityby (RER) were discussed. Then, the (RER) potentials for army camps in (RAs) wereidentified based on the climatic zones in which the five sectors of the Egypt army forcesarelocated. The meteorological data were allocated forNew Valley. As well, the architectural design principles and specifications were assigned for the (battalion). Therefore, the electrical profile was estimated for it. By HOMER Pro software, three hybrid technology scenarios were determined through the simulation and the optimization process. Finally, based on the concluded scenarios from HOMER Pro. Statistical analysis was performed using the comparative method to allocate the optimum scenario.This scenario was the third scenario that uses a diesel generator with PV panels and Wind turbines. It is worth noting that the study limitation is to provide the demand for electricity for ordinary jobs, excluding the (battalion) military function. | ||
