本文分析了沙特阿拉伯西海岸地区风光互补发电系统的潜力。重点研究了混合系统中风力涡轮机和光伏发电的发电量和发电成本。考虑了未满足的电力负荷和过剩电力。在本研究中考虑的年平均太阳辐射和风速分别为5.95 kWh/m2/d和3.53 m/s。利用MATLAB和HOMER软件对混合动力系统进行了技术经济分析。仿真结果表明，在相同规模的风光互补系统中，如果同时使用风力涡轮机和光伏阵列，光伏阵列比风力涡轮机发电机共享更多的发电量。风能的平均能源成本为0.149美元/kWh，比太阳能的0.0637美元/kWh更贵。混合动力系统的能量成本主要由电池和风力涡轮机费用决定。
The potential of hybrid wind/solar energy system in the west coast area of Saudi Arabia is analyzed in this paper. The investigation puts emphasis on the energy production and cost of energy from both wind turbine and photovoltaic (PV) in the hybrid system. Unmet electric load and excess electricity are taken into consideration. The annual average solar irradiation and wind speed considered in this study are 5.95 kWh/m2/day and 3.53 m/s, respectively. MATLAB and HOMER software are used to perform the technical and economic analyses of the hybrid system. As indicated from the simulation results, the PV array shares more electricity production than the wind turbine generator if both wind turbine and PV array are utilized in the wind/solar hybrid system with the same sizes. The wind levelized cost of energy is $0.149/kWh, which is more expensive than the solar energy of $0.0637/kWh. The energy cost of the hybrid system is dominated by battery and wind turbine expenses.
