Original abstract

ABSTRACT Gaza Strip faces continuous electricity shortages, high dependence on imported energy, and increasing environmental pressures from fossil‐fuel‐based power generation, which is mostly imported and controlled by Israel. This study evaluates the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of an integrated photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy system for domestic power generation and CO 2 emissions reduction under Gaza's local climatic conditions and location. Solar irradiance and wind‐speed profiles were used to estimate the annual energy output of standalone PV, standalone wind, and combined hybrid configurations. The results show that a 3‐kW wind system can generate approximately 5089 kWh/year, while a 3 kW PV system can generate approximately 4736 kWh/year. The combined 6 kW hybrid PV–wind system produces approximately 9825 kWh/year, demonstrating the benefit of complementary solar and wind generation patterns for improving supply stability. The environmental assessment indicates that the hybrid system can avoid approximately 9.4 tCO 2 /year compared with diesel‐based electricity generation, with separate contributions of 4.9 tCO 2 /year from the wind system and 4.5 tCO 2 /year from the PV system. The economic assessment shows simple payback periods of approximately 6.0 years for the PV system and 6.4 years for the wind system, indicating that both technologies are financially promising for decentralized domestic energy applications. Overall, the study's results suggested that integrated PV–wind systems can support energy security, reduce emissions, and provide a practical renewable‐energy pathway for energy constrained regions such as the Gaza Strip.
