Feasibility study of hybrid renewable energy systems for off-grid electrification in Kuwait’s rural national park reserve

Noura H. Alzuabi, Sultan Sh. Alanzi · 2024 · International Journal of Sustainable Energy

Summary. This study designs a hybrid renewable energy system for an off-grid rural national park in Kuwait. Researchers evaluated photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, diesel generators, and battery storage to power a facility requiring 832,640 kWh annually. The optimal configuration combines 500-kW solar panels, 200-kW wind turbines, and 1,424-kW batteries, generating 1.8 million kWh yearly while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 757,162 kg annually compared to diesel operation.
