II Indicators of Renewable Energy 2018

Introduction

One of the most important elements to preserve the natural environment is to balance the exploitation of its resources to meet the requirements of life for future generations and achieve economic development. Saudi Arabia, like any other country, tries to find alternative energy sources in order to go along with the Saudi vision 2030 in the production of electricity by using renewable energy sources. The National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) has been launched under the umbrella of the Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program. It aims to sustainably increase the renewable energy share to total energy sources in Saudi Arabia to reach 3.45 gigawatts (GW) by 2020 – approximately 4% of Saudi Arabia’s total energy production, and 9.5GW by 2023 – 10% of total energy production. The investment in the program projects is expected to reach SR 59 billion SAR.

Renewable energy is an energy derived from sources that can be regenerated by nature constantly such as solar energy, wind and water energy, geothermal energy, and biomass. The renewable energy can be distinguished from fossil energy (oil, natural gas, and coal) by being natural and renewable sources, in addition to being clean and environment- friendly energy as its production does not cause environmental pollution. Saudi Arabia has diverse renewable energy sources especially the solar energy and wind energy.

2. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP):

CSP (also called concentrated solar thermal) is a system that generates power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight - usually on top of a high solar power tower - onto a small area, allowing the energy to later be converted to heat, that drives a heat engine to generate electricity at night

Wind Observation Stations in Saudi Arabia

Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to generate electric power. It is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean and produces no greenhouse gas emissions (Co2 or CH4) during operation. The wind energy resources need more studies in Saudi Arabia. However, observatories have been used to experimentally study wind energy in the country.
