## Optimization of Industrial Electrification in Saudi Arabia
- Research by Abdulrhman Alqahtani for M.Sc. in Sustainable & Renewable Energy.
- Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 and the 2060 Net Zero commitment.

## The Industrial Challenge
- KSA industry consumes 21% of total energy.
- Current electricity is nearly 100% fossil fuel powered.
- Goal: Develop a roadmap for clean energy in manufacturing.

## Research Literature Findings
- Average LCOE in Jubail dropped from $0.24 to $0.18 per kWh by scaling up load size.
- Hybrid configurations (PV + Wind + Battery) are consistently identified as optimal.
- 100% renewable energy feasibility is confirmed for KSA locations like NEOM and Jeddah.

## Methodology & Modeling
- Simulation of 8 scenarios including PV, Wind, Battery storage, Grid-tied, and Hydrogen systems.
- Tools used: HOMER Pro, Python, and MATLAB for multi-objective analysis.
- Key outputs: Net Present Cost (NPC), Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), and CO₂ reduction levels.

## Strategic Roadmap
- 24-week project timeline covering data collection, simulation, and analysis.
- Targets 50% renewable electricity by 2030 and industrial diversification.
