Abstract
Background: Renewable energy systems are the most promising long-term sustainable energylong-term sustainable energy, with numerous advantages. Renewable energy systems that combine traditional and renewable resources are now cost-effective and have a low carbon impact. These systems are becoming more popular as a feasible option for rural areas, particularly when it comes to grid connectivity.
Objective: This study discusses the ideal design and size for separated PV batteries and dieselbased renewable energy systems. South Sinai, Egypt, was chosen as the testing location for unusual environmental conditions, system specs, and daily energy requirement statistics to analyze the total energy required for a specific site. The load under investigation is a school complex in one of the governorate's cities.
Methods: The complete system is simulated and tested using the MATLAB/Simulink program. Results: In this study the amount of energy required by the load is determined. The load power is compared with the system output power to justify the reliability of the system. The system output voltage is shown which is sinusoidal wave. The management control system between PV, diesel and battery is shown.
Conclusion: The results show that the system is reliable; the control strategies always indicate the load requirement and minimize the diesel run time.
Keywords: PV, hybrid power system, diesel generator, energy storage, renewable energy systems, energy management.
