“…Table 1 Energy output of the 100 kW wind turbine with three different hub heights at Queira Fig. 8 exhibits the monthly water output for Queira using both the proposed water pumping systems driven by the wind farm, and the photovoltaic (PV) driven pumping system, utilized in [9]. It is obvious that wind driven pumping system is more suitable than the PV driven pumping system for water pumping in Queira.…”

This paper presents a feasibility study of utilizing an on-grid photovoltaic (PV) system for electrification of Cedars hotel located in Amman in Jordan as a case study. The PV system has been designed, keeping in view the required electrical load and energy available from the sun in Jordan. The actual energy consumption of the hotel is estimated (444 MWh/year) for the design and simulation of the on-grid PV system using Photovoltaic Geographical Information System software (PVGIS) and photovoltaic software (PVsyst). The results showed that PV system required 912 panels distributed over 12 inverters, with a required area of 1757.3 m 2 . In addition, the on-grid PV system produced a total yearly energy of 541 MWh, with an average performance ratio of 0.828. The economic study for the proposed PV system showed that the system’s payback period was 4.1 year. Moreover, life cycle savings (LCS) and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) analysis have been carried out. The LCS and LCOE of the system were found to be $51,493 and $0.0199 /kWh, respectively. Therefore, installing a proposed on-grid PV system on the Cedars hotel will save $38,718/year. It is concluded that an on-grid PV system is a technically and economically viable technology for the electrification of residential hotel applications.

“…Energy production in general, and electric energy in particular are ever increasing in cost, and with the decrease in fossil fuels world reserve and the increase in the world energy demand, the price per KWh will only get more expensive to produce and hence to consume. Like most countries in the world, Jordan has seen a steady increase in its energy demand (6% to 8%) since 1998 (Al zou'bi, 2010;Etier, Al Tarabsheh, & Ababneh, 2010;Hrayshat & Al-Soud, 2007), in addition to keeping up with the increased energy demand, Jordan faces the challenge of reducing its dependence on foreign energy supply (current dependence on foreign energy resources is estimated at 98%).…”

Creation of a Smart Grid provides utilities and their customers with a significant improvement in power reliability and services; to date, Smart Grid in Jordan is still in infant stage. In this paper we will present the Smart grid policy and law in Jordan by studying Tafila smart grid as a case study. One can see variety of problems and challenges in the field of Smart Grid. Hence, this paper can provide a help to find a new research point in this field. Also in this paper we try to recommend develop implementation strategy that will help to generate appropriate smart grid & Energy Efficiency Law.
