Optimum Configuration of a Renewable Energy System Using Multi-Year Parameters and Advanced Battery Storage Modules: A Case Study in Northern Saudi Arabia

Understanding the impact of global warming and availability renewable sources has motivated many countries to utilize solar wind as an alternative conventional energy sources. One county at forefront in development these technologies is Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA). In KSA, investing important because country’s load demand rapidly increasing, coupled with over-reliance on fossil fuels. By fully utilizing multi-year advanced battery storage modules HOMER, this paper, techno-economic viability a PV/wind/diesel/battery system for remote location Al-Jouf KSA been investigated. The novelty work presented paper that first time designed taking into account parameters such increase fuel price, PV degradation, consumer degradation. Besides, due high temperatures experienced during summer season, investigates sensitivity ambient temperature system’s performance. result shows input degradation have significant output over 25 year lifetime project. production dropped by 11.3%, while diesel rose 38% thereby increasing consumption CO2 emission. LCOE NPC are 0.204 USD206,919 respectively. According analysis, performance power generation.
