Abstract

Due to the increase in the population and the increase in demand for energy in general and electric power in particular in addition to the fluctuation of oil prices accompanied by the possibility of depletion and increase the complaint of the impact of emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, all eyes for serious and direct thinking in the use of renewable energies, especially solar and wind that can be used in generating electricity in huge capacities [1–4].
