Abu Dhabi obtains a patent for renewable energy
The invention presented by Abu Dhabi, entitled “Foldable model to improve the performance of a photovoltaic and wind hybrid system,” provides a practical solution to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of renewable energy generation, providing a valuable model for Abu Dhabi University students to explore various aspects of renewable energy, and improve the efficiency of embedded systems and energy tracking algorithms. Solar and other projects, and the project presented by the university aims to enhance energy production.
Through hybrid energy systems, which include cells (photovoltaic and wind) with some modifications to the arms of the wind turbines through dynamic control of them by tilting the photovoltaic units at ideal angles to produce energy. The invention combines the sources of wind and photovoltaic energy in one system to be an alternative to Traditional hybrid systems of these two energy sources, and the model provides a way to combine wind energy.
And photovoltaic energy in one system, which improves the rate of power generation. Abu Dhabi University stressed the importance of the patent in advancing renewable energy initiatives in the United Arab Emirates. There are international forecasts that indicate that renewable energy is expected to reach the share of electricity generation from renewable energy in the UAE to 12% by 2026, equivalent to twice the energy produced in 2022.
Increasing electricity generation through renewable energy
The International Energy Agency stated that the UAE’s generation share of renewable energy is expected to increase to 12% by 2026, and the total share of renewable energy in the generation mix will also increase from 5% in 2022 to 8% in 2023. The agency explained in Its latest report showed that the rate of electricity consumption in the UAE increased last year by an estimated 3%, expecting the total demand for electricity to expand.
It will increase at an annual rate of about 2.6% during the period from the current year to 2026. The agency indicated the UAE’s readiness to operate the fourth reactor at the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant during the current year 2024, pointing out that with this new addition, it is expected that the station will meet more From 25% of the country’s energy demand, which contributes to reducing the share of natural gas to 64% with the rise in nuclear power generation.
The agency explained that energy emissions in the United Arab Emirates decreased by 11% in the past year 2023, due to the significant increases in activating the role of both renewable energy and nuclear energy, expecting another decrease of 9% during the current year with the start of operation of the fourth unit of the “Barakah” station. “At the global level, the agency expects the demand for electricity to grow at a faster rate during the next three years.
