Can Hybrid Hydrogen Systems contribute to energy sustainability and independence in Saudi Arabia?
By achieving these objectives, the study seeks to provide actionable insights into the feasibility and economic viability of implementing hybrid renewable hydrogen systems in remote areas, thereby contributing to energy sustainability and independence in Saudi Arabia.
Does Riyadh have a hybrid hydrogen system?
Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, located at 24° 42.81' N, 46° 40.52' E, presents a unique opportunity to evaluate the viability of hybrid renewable hydrogen systems in a primary metropolitan environment. The city has a yearly average solar irradiation of 5.77 kWh/m 2 /day, reaching a high of 7.87 kWh/m 2 /day in June (Fig. 8).
Are grid-connected and off-grid hydrogen systems feasible in Saudi Arabia?
The techno-economic feasibility of grid-connected and off-grid hydrogen systems in three regions of Saudi Arabia—Yanbu, Al Jouf, and Riyadh—is evaluated in this study. HOMER simulations optimized system configurations, incorporating location-specific solar irradiance, wind resources, temperature profiles, and component costs.
How much solar energy does Riyadh produce a year?
The city has a yearly average solar irradiation of 5.77 kWh/m 2 /day, reaching a high of 7.87 kWh/m 2 /day in June (Fig. 8). Moreover, Riyadh has an average wind speed of 5.76 m/s (Fig. 9), highlighting its significant solar and wind energy production potential.
Are hybrid photovoltaic & wind energy systems the future of hydrogen production?
Recent advancements in renewable energy technologies have significantly increased interest in hybrid photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy systems for hydrogen production, particularly in regions with abundant renewable resources, such as Saudi Arabia.
Is there a knowledge gap in evaluating hybrid renewable hydrogen systems?
Despite the growing body of global research on hybrid renewable hydrogen systems, there is a significant knowledge gap in evaluating these systems within specific regions like Saudi Arabia. Most existing studies offer generalized assessments that overlook various locations' distinct environmental and economic factors.
This study aims to evaluate and optimize the techno-economic performance of hybrid renewable hydrogen systems for three communities in Saudi Arabia (Al Jouf, Yanbu, and Riyadh), considering both grid-connected and off-grid configurations.
