They applied their suggestion to hybrid PV/wind system installed in (Soria, Spain) ( Arribas et al., 2010 ). suggested the guidelines for PV/wind hybrid system. Assessment of the potential of renewables for Brunei Darussalam using RES and Homer software has been reported in Malik (2011 ).

They concluded that the hybrid system is satisfactory compared to the diesel generator only. conducted a study at islanders community to check the effect of hybrid PV/diesel system on an island ( Phuangpornpitak and Kumar, 2011 ). The system achieved high energy production, low gases emissions, and poor financial prospects. performed research in a photovoltaic power plant in Abu Dhabi to examine the financial feasibility, production of energy and gases emissions using RETScreen software ( Harder and Gibson, 2011 ). The system achieved a proper economic performance and low gas emissions.Įlizabeth Harder et al. The results showed that PV/diesel system is the optimal solution in Malaysia. The study is performed by Homer software. studied the use of hybrid PV/wind/diesel system to choose the optimal configuration of a renewable energy system in Malaysia ( Haidar et al., 2011 ). It is a high reliability and efficiency system. The results showed that the hybrid PV/wind/battery/diesel system is the most economical system. conducted a study to meet the residential load demand in Palestine ( Daud and Ismail, 2012 ). Also, the fuel energy participation percentage will be decreased which reduces the percentage of gases emissions. So, reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant powered by hybrid energy sources can solve the shortage of clean water in remote and arid areas. Also, arid and remote areas suffer from the lack of freshwater and no electrical grid connections due to their geographic location ( Ahmed et al., 2019 ).
Renewable energy is a useful option to face fuel energy pollution ( Talaat et al., 2016 ). This study documents that renewable energy is the effective option to face the fuel energy pollution by reducing the gases emissions from burning fossil fuels. This study is one of very few studies which have investigated the optimal hybrid power system configuration to drive a reverse osmosis desalination plant at the Nakhl city, Egypt. Received: 14 November 2018 / Revised: 18 December 2018 / Accepted: 24 January 2019/ Published: 11 March 2019 Keywords: Freshwater, Nakhl, Hybrid, Cycle cost, Homer Pro, Reverse osmosis, Renewable. Also, the system achieves the lowest cost of energy and net present cost. It consists of 83.5 kW PV panels, a 36.4 kW converter, seven strings of lead-acid batteries and a 50 kW fixed capacity generator. The results illustrate that the hybrid PV/diesel/RO desalination plant system with storage batteries is sustainable and socially accepted system.

Homer Pro software is used to select the optimal system configuration. In order to minimize the system total cycle cost, both of the photovoltaic modules sizing, the wind turbine production, the number of battery strings and the diesel generator fuel consumption are studied. The operation of five different systems is studied to supply the load at an average rate of 557.22 kWh/day with 35.67 kW peak load. The hybrid system consists of photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, storage batteries, and a diesel generator.
This simulation selects the optimal design of the hybrid energy system according to the net present cost (NPC), the cost of energy (COE), the gases emissions (carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide) and the excess system electricity. This study aims to produce 100 m3/day of freshwater for 120,000 people at Nakhl city, North Sinai, Egypt. Different configurations for a hybrid energy system are presented.
