This paper presents Libyan Renewable Energy Sources (LRES), as Libya relies heavily on conventional energy resources (CER) to fulfil its energy requirements, and these resources are still being used to cover the country's regularly increasing energy needs. Moreover, a mostly Libyan rural area has a quite remote location from the national electrical grid. In the past, (security and political were better), there was trying to solve this problem by focusing more on RES besides CER. Libya has enough potential and is a well-known market for RES, and it is time to invest in renewables. However, there is still a large gap between generating power and the required energy. The aim is to demonstrate the current RE potential in Libya in general, the techniques which have been used so far and compare current and future barriers. Finally, there will be some recommendations that show how Libya may change the current scenario of its energy sector by using the available RES. Admittedly, it is so challenging to develop and improve the GECOL from using CER to RES, if the country is still suffering from a civil war, instability in general.
Jordan electricity demand is rapidly increasing and is expected to increase three times by 2030. Currently, deployment of renewable energy resource, especially solar and the wind is one of the considerable challenges of the government of Jordan. This research aims to investigate the status and prospect of renewable energy resource in Jordan. And, to test the potential renewable energy supply options in Jordan. A method for comparing the most viable energy supply options have been proposed and then applied into a technoeconomic feasibility case study to assess the viability of wind and solar energy resource in a particular area in the south of Jordan. HOMER software has been used to simulate and configure the system. The result showed that installing a PV solar farm has many advantages than installing a wind farm. The main benefits for the PV system are that it needs a lower installed capacity than wind system to meet the same load demand. Wind farm choice is less viable economically when it compared to the PV system; it needs higher capital and replacement cost. Also, the operating and maintenance cost of the wind farm much higher than that for the solar farm, (roughly up to ten times).
This paper focuses on renewable energy generated generation (DG) systems that will satisfy the operational requirement in different cases. The global need for a sustainable energy system is becoming very important over the next few years due to the recent attention on conventional energy resources such as fossil fuels which have effects on the environment. The renewable energy technologies such as solar energy systems are becoming more critical energy technology of the generation system. However, selecting optimal sites for DG systems depends on the local conditions and potential of renewable energy. In this work, a semi-desert area network of Libyan electrical distribution systems has been chosen as a case study. The objectives of this work are to observe the effects of DG systems in an electrical distribution system and also to present its different performance levels. Furthermore, this paper presents the implementation of a Newton Raphson method using NEPLAN software to analyze the transition and the use of sub-transmission networks, interconnecting the DG units for a semi-desert area in Libya. The simulation results are analyzed and discussed to make a suggestion for adapting this method in using the sub-transmission networks to interconnect the DG systems.
