The national electrical energy situation report study today in Iraq represents that the value of the conventional electrical energy power is increasing day after day with increasing more demand on the electricity source in all sectors of life in Iraq. To avoid energy supply shortage, today should be using renewable energy sources with rise required management. A hybrid electrical energy system usually consists of two or more renewable energy sources used together with conventional electrical energy sources to extend increased system efficiency, but the design of hybrid power involves uneconomic and excessive capacities results in excess electric generation with increasing the initial costs. In this study, we find the optimization the best time required of sharing alternative between both of solar-diesel generator hybrid power system for 24 hours. The PV peak power was 1.3kW and diesel power 2.4kW with using both of theoretical calculation. The HOMER software was used to improve a simulation model for one day in Baghdad city in Iraq. The HOMER software is used to implement the optimization. The master objective is to optimize hybrid system component sizes, minimizing excess electricity generation, and set electric load and implement cost analysis based on life cycle price. Inputs data used for simulation consist of real solar radiation data (Averaged to monthly values), taken from the local weather station installed at Baghdad city. Based on maximum load, hybrid system parameters sizes considered and many simulation results are acquired.
