AB  - In this study, the possibility of using a stand-alone hybrid PV/wind power system for electricity
generation for large industry load, cement factory in Egypt is investigated. To increase continuity of supply
electrical power to load demand. A backup connection with grid utility based on smart connection has been
used. An economic feasibility study has been made for hybrid PV/wind system to power this large industry
load. A case study was done at Assiut Cement Factory in Assiut city as a representative example of large
industry load in Egypt. Sizing and optimization of the hybrid system components were investigated using
MATLAB code and Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) Software. The energy cost
values of the hybrid system agree reasonably with those published before.
