Abstract
Most of the remote areas in Saudi Arabia depend on conventional electric energy sources such as the DG. However, these sources depend on the availability of the expensive fossil fuel. Also, these engines usually operate at low efficiency owing to their different loads. Therefore, using RES that doesn’t need fuel and doesn’t affect the environment can be considered an excellent solution for this dilemma. Using various sources of renewable energy can increase system reliability and reduce the cost of generating energy considerably.
