1 00% Solar Energy Platform in an Egyptian Institution

Abstract

The world is targeting 100% renewable energies by the middle of the century. This paper presents a platform to operate Heliopolis University in Egypt with 100% sustainable energy in winter. Heliopolis University has three roof-top PV systems and a concentrated PV thermal system. The 100% renewable energy is applied in winter using neural network based optimal power configuration. The real data are analyzed using Microsoft excel. A clear financial view about the plat-form initialization is presented. The platform aims to have 100% sustainable energy during the whole year soon. The calculations of last winter proved that the profit from selling surplus electricity to the grid is 1.27 times the cost of the platform.
