A new off-grid Hybrid Energy System (HES) for Dier El Balah quarantine center (middle Gaza Strip, Palestine) that was built to host the infected Corona virus (COVID-19) people is studied. The proposed system is made up of three energy sources mainly photovoltaic (PV), wind, and a diesel generator. The HES is developed to adequately supply a load of 3952 KW/day. The technical and economic considerations are presented. HOMER program is used to develop an optimal system from the practical view point. The results revealed the potential of the HES to provide environment friendly, cost-effective and affordable electricity for the Dier El Balah quarantine center, as compared to using only diesel generators with lowest COE equals 0.348 US$/kWh.
