Abstract: 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.
