OPTIMAL DESIGN OF HYBRID RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES FOR CARDBOARD FACTORY

摘要

The cardboard industry is considered the major important industries that depend on most productive companies in the packaging products and it is characterized by shock durability and resistance to tearing. So, the cardboard industry has widely used because of their importance and the availability of the necessary raw materials.This paper presents the optimal sizing of renewable energy sources for a small cardboardfactory. The renewable energy resources include wind, diesel, biomass and battery storage system. The El-Tahrir is chosen to be the site under consideration. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis is done to study the variation of wind speed, the diesel fuel prices, biomass capacity, and biomass price on the total net present cost of the system.
