Summary. Researchers designed and analyzed a hybrid renewable energy system combining solar panels, wind turbines, diesel generators, and batteries to power a rural health clinic in Saudi Arabia. The optimized system achieves 84.7% renewable energy generation with annual CO2 emissions of 10,825 kg and operating costs of $2,361 per year. The findings demonstrate that hybrid systems are economically and environmentally viable for rural healthcare in arid regions, with potential applications across developing nations.
