AB - Lebanon suffers from financial crises, especially in the electrical sector. Citizens are facing daily power cuts of several hours, leaving many reliant on their own generators or private neighborhood supplies that charge high fees. Fortunately, this country is precious with an abundance of sun, wind, and water. Thus, using renewable energy to generate electricity is considered pivotal for reducing dependency on fossil fuels. Moreover, implementing the concept of energy efficiency through smart home energy management systems is quite promising. Hence, this paper focuses on generating electricity for a smart home using an Adaptive Hybrid Energy System (AHES) consisting of two sources of renewable energies that are available in most Lebanese areas: the sun using solar panels and the wind retrieved from wind turbines, in addition to the batteries and the grid. It will be proven that the suggested system has environmental benefits besides assuring power reliability. It will reduce electricity bills, protect Lebanon from the impact of changing trends in energy markets, reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, and reduce pollution. For testing purposes, an IoT-based implementation of the proposed AHES will be explored, featuring real-time smart home model monitoring using sensors, actuators, and Arduino devices communicating with a cloud server via the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol and a graphical user interface.
