Hybrid Solar and Wind Power Generation in Saudi Arabia
This work aims to conduct a feasibility study and a performance analysis of a hybrid wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) power system in selected regions in the Kingdom of Saudi
This work aims to conduct a feasibility study and a performance analysis of a hybrid wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) power system in selected regions in the Kingdom of Saudi
The thorough literature cited above revealed that there was no trial to investigate the feasibility of using hybrid PV-wind powered reverse osmosis system water desalination in
Thus, Saudi Arabia and other countries can ensure collective adherence to the norms of global sustainability, decrease an ensuing carbon footprint, and contribute to forming
Saudi Arabia''s $940 billion Public Investment Fund (PIF) and its affiliate Acwa Power are working on a wind farm project to develop enough electricity to power three small
Wind power is considered one of the most environmentally friendly and rapidly growing form of renewable energy. This study aims at assessment of wind power potential for
This study explores the potential of a solar-wind hybrid energy system integrated with hydrogen fuel cell storage to address the limitations of standalone solar and wind power
It has been found that Saudi Arabia has a great potential in wind energy (Saleem & Ali, 2016), and to identify the optimal sites to place wind turbines for wind power generation, it
The integration of hybrid solar and wind power systems into the grid can further help in improving the overall economy and reliability of renewable power generation to supply
Of the total global onshore wind capacity, 0.05% is in Saudi Arabia. Listed below are the five largest upcoming onshore wind power plants by capacity in Saudi Arabia,
The sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia, known as the Public Investment Fund (PIF), is on the verge of finalizing an agreement with Envision Energy, a Chinese firm, to
Saudi Arabia''s Principal Buyer has signed a 700 MW Power Purchase Agreement for the Yanbu Wind Energy Project with the MARUBENI–Ajlan consortium. Valued at over

For example, a wind power plant with 100 V126 turbines can meet the energy demands of approximately 46000 individuals, given that energy consumption per capita in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is reported at 8239 kWh according to Saudi statistical data and world data on energy consumption for the year 2020 .
Saudi Arabia’s first wind farm, Dumat Al Jandal Wind Farm, November 2023. (Credit: Charles Phillips) Until 2020, Saudi Arabia had no large-scale renewable power plants. Yet in just a few years, it has installed a series of solar and wind projects and committed to an even larger pipeline of planned developments.
Rehman et al. also investigated the wind power potential for coastal locations of Saudi Arabia. Wind turbines for various capacities between 150 and 2500 kW were compared for the power production and capacity factor. Yanbu was determined the best location to harness wind energy among other sites.
Mukhtar et al. determined the wind speed characteristics and wind energy potential for different sites of Saudi Arabia by using the Weibull probability density function. The Maximum Likelihood method was the most accurate method for estimating Weibull parameters and wind speed.
