Abstract

This paper suggests a technical methodology to regenerate the Egyptian Hinterlands of the Graduates’ villages at Al-Burullus Lake into sustainable neighborhoods. The aim of the research is to develop self-sufficient economic housing prototype. The study defines energy potentials and examines the future feasibility for renewable energy integration into rural communities. It aims to develop reliable Stand-Alone Photovoltaic (SAPV) system to residential buildings. The study uses simulation software to develop the reliable SAPV system as well as predicting the yearly energy output. The simulation of the SAPV system configuration is presented using the PVSYST tools software. The simulation defines the total amount of electrical energy generated by PV array supplied to the determined load by users, the various types of power losses, the optimal size of SAPV system configuration, and the total energy flow through the whole year - The study recommends the implementation stages of PV systems in developing countries and addresses their impact on research, education, community, industry, and other governmental sectors in Egypt.
