• The present study was conducted to investigate the adequate operation of a hybrid system in Messla Oil Field, Libya. The proposed hybrid system includes a gas turbine power plant existing in the field. It produces approximately 11 - 11.8 MW per hour with a predictive solar photovoltaic plant for 7 MW. The present study mainly aims to model and highlight the capabilities of the hybrid system to produce electricity in parallel. Additionally, the hybrid system is designed and simulated to reduce the over-dependence of gas turbine power plants in oil and gas fields during the day as the energy demand is met through the hybrid system. Gas turbine power plant real data and environment real ambient temperature and global sun irradiance data were used at selected time intervals over a year. Moreover, mathematical models were established using the MATLAB and Simulink package for gas turbine power plant and solar photovoltaic plant, respectively for each season, to predict the electricity produced by the proposed system under appropriate operation. The verification of the utilized system models was done first. The theoretical results are presented and discussed. It is concluded that the use of a hybrid gas turbine-solar photovoltaic plant system provides the necessary electrical power and continuity of electricity production. It also improves the performance of the gas turbine power plant and reduces the load thereon, thereby saving the power output and the fuel mass flow rate to the gas turbine power plant. Some useful recommendations for future research work in this field of study are provided in this work.
