Abstract
Although oil and gas are the main sources of the Libyan economy, these sources are responsible for generating electricity in the country. The continuous rising in energy demand is leading to more oil and gas burning and hence more CO2 emission. So, the country should Adopting a viable and effective solution to the electricity sector by mixing the existing energy sources with the renewable energy sources such solar and wind energy. Therefore, centralized PV power plants and wind farm may be considered as renewable and clean source of energy. This paper introduce a comparison feasibility study between 10 MW of PV power plant, wind farm, and fossil fuel plant in Libya. The three alternatives are compared in terms of the capital cost, maintenance cost, fuel cost and the CO2 emission. The merit results are discussed and compared in accordance with economic, sustainability and pollution. Overall, The cost of the centralized PV system is 13.3 million dollar, while the cost of the wind and the fossil fuel power plant are 17.631325 and 12.8 million dollar respectively. On the other hand the total cost over 20 year are 14.364, 26.4469875, and 690.5192857 million dollar for the PV, wind and fossil fuel respectively.
