Jawed Mustafa, Fahad Awjah Almehmadi, Saeed Alqaed, Mohsen Sharifpur · 2022 · Sustainability

Summary. Researchers designed a hybrid renewable energy system combining solar and wind power for a rural community in Saudi Arabia. The system serves residential buildings and irrigation needs, optimized using HOMER software and artificial neural networks. Results show the system achieves 65% renewable energy penetration at $0.1053 per kilowatt-hour while reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by 233 tons.
