Design of smart energy generation and demand response system in Saudi Arabia

摘要

The promising benefits of the renewable sources based on distributed generation are pushing the future energy markets to invest more into the available renewable systems. This research will focus on integrating available renewable energy resources in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the electric grid to minimize the energy production from fossil fuels through continuous prediction and forecast of demand requirements. The work will concentrate on linking modern forecasting techniques with load history, weather information and the grid, with the objective to minimize CO2 emission over both short and long term forecasting periods. Simulation model will be developed to validate the proposed solutions using MATLAB software environment. With the aim of testing the linear module performance historical load data gained from the Saudi Arabia Electrical Company for a west part of the country, for the period from January 2010 to August 2016 has been put under process.
