Abstract :
This paper is aimed at calculating the power demand of a combined irrigation and domestic load in Toshka area, Toshka, Egypt. The pipe line system for irrigation is designed. An economic feasibility study has been made for hybrid PV-wind system to power this combined load. Sizing of the hybrid system components was investigated using MATLAB Code and HOMER Package. The energy cost values of the hybrid system agrees reasonably with published those before.
