Techno-economic and environmental feasibility of large-scale hybrid renewable energy system for coastal megaprojects: a case study of Ras El-Hekma, Egypt.

Coastal megaprojects need strong, sustainable, and cost‑effective power systems to cut carbon emissions and keep the grid stable. This research framework looks at the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of a large hybrid renewable energy system for the Ras El‑Hekma coastal megaproject in Egypt. The system combines wind turbines, solar photovoltaic panels, and energy‑storage units to smooth out generation and lower both the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and the net present cost (NPC). Advanced simulation tools use local weather data—wind speed and solar irradiance—to evaluate how the hybrid setup performs over time. Environmental impact assessments are added to measure how much carbon emissions drop compared to a diesel‑heavy grid.

The work also provides guidance for setting up a multi‑criteria decision‑making process, running sensitivity analyses under different fuel prices and capital costs, and optimizing the dispatch strategy of the storage units. Overall, this study offers a detailed guide for building resilient, low‑carbon power systems for large coastal developments and a solid base for academic review and further optimization.
