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.
