Optimized Design of Hybrid PV-Wind System Using HOMER – Case Study: Small Hotel in Casablanca

This paper presents an optimized design of a hybrid photovoltaic – wind energy system using HOMER software Pro. A case study at the location of Casablanca for a small hotel considering the study of two scenarios connected system and off grid system has been presented in this work. The result analysis shows that the connected system is better than the off-grid system in terms of the project's cost and energy for 25 years. This paper shows the importance of optimizing a hybrid energy system design based on resources, components, profile load, and energy costs, including capital and maintenance costs.
