المستخلص

Egypt has a huge potential for utilization methods to generate renewable energy. This paper aims to study the utilization of mixed pump-turbine system. Explanation behind its choice and its benefits would be discussed.  The initial part of the research included studying the area and choosing a suitable location to act as a storage basin, then topographic and geographic information about the basins are then discussed in detail. The second part of the research involves deciding a suitable operating mechanism for the system. This would be performed by creation of a calculator script intended to simulate the operation of the system under different conditions. Results from these trials would then be compared with each other, in order to reach to an educated conclusion to the best method of operation to actualize such an idea.
تمتلك مصر إمكانيات هائلة في طرق استغلال الطاقة المتجددة.  ولهذا يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة الاستفادة من نظام المضخة والتوربين المختلط. وستتم مناقشة شرح سبب اختياره وفوائده. يتضمن الجزء الأولي من البحث دراسة المنطقة واختيار الموقع المناسب ليكون بمثابة حوض تخزين، ثم تمت مناقشة المعلومات الطبوغرافية والجغرافية عن الأحواض بشكل تفصيلي. الجزء الثاني من البحث يتضمن تحديد آلية التشغيل المناسبة للنظام. وسيتم تنفيذ ذلك عن طريق إنشاء برنامج نصي للآلة الحاسبة يهدف إلى محاكاة تشغيل النظام في ظل ظروف مختلفة. ويتم بعد ذلك مقارنة نتائج هذه التجارب مع بعضها البعض، من أجل الوصول إلى نتيجة مدروسة لأفضل طريقة تشغيل لتحقيق مثل هذه الفكرة.
