Abstract
The increasing global energy demand driven by climate change, technological advancements, and population growth necessitates the development of sustainable solutions. This research investigates the design, modeling, and simulation of a 2.5 MW solar-wind hybrid renewable energy system (SWH-RES) optimized for domestic grid applications. A survey conducted across 450 households identified a total energy demand of 2.3 MW, with distinct day and night usage profiles. In response, a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5 MW solar park and a 1 MW wind energy unit was designed to ensure continuous power supply. The system was modeled and simulated using MATLAB, and its performance was evaluated through a detailed Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) analysis. This research addresses the critical need for a sustainable and high-quality power supply by designing, modeling, and simulating a 2.5 MW solar-wind hybrid renewable energy system (SWH-RES) optimized to meet the energy demand of a surveyed 2.3 MW domestic load, while also reducing THD to acceptable levels for improved power quality and grid stability. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in THD, with voltage THD decreasing from 45.48% to 26.20% and current THD from 8.32% to 2.88% after implementing filtering components. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the proposed SWH-RES in providing stable, high-quality power while addressing the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions.
