Abstract

Hybrid renewable energy systems is broadly adopted because they are eco- friendly systems. The
general electric grid in Libya has suffered from shortage during the recent years . However , Libya
has formidable opportunities for investment in clean energy .Their wind energy resources are
promising. The southern region of Libya has demonstrated the viability of utilizing pumped
hydroelectric and wind energy for electricity generation, thereby addressing the deficit and
strengthening the resilience of the public grid. In this study, hybrid renewable energy system
(HRES) consists of 432 MW of wind energy farm and 10782 MWh of pumped hydropower system
has been designed, analyzed and optimized to meet a demand of 590,019 MWh. The decision to
design these systems is strongly affected by energy prices and pollution. The impact of the Loss
Power Supply Probability (LPSP) and the cost of CO2 emissions on the levelized cost of energy
(LCOE) is loss discussed
