In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the electricity demand will double in the next 15 years, dramatically increasing fuel consumption. To meet this huge load growth, there has been some series of movements to find out solutions. This research aims at studying the feasibility of design and construction of a solar power plant using photovoltaic cells in Saudi Arabia from the geographic, economic and technical perspectives. It＇s concluded that PV power is competitive with the conventional capacity required to meet ＂peak＂ power demand and represents an opportunity for reducing fuel consumption in Saudi Arabia.展开更多

The financing technique employed to implement these projects is often the project financing formula. Under such condition an investor consortium, usually foreigner plan, build, operate the power plant and sell the generated electricity to the host utility. The sale price is determined from the expected IPP＇s production cost, enhanced from the expected welfare obtainable by selling electricity. This paper proposes a methodology for linking the uncertainty of the future production cost with the price of the electricity generated by an IPP.

For the sake of looking into the physics mechanism of organic solar cells (OSCs), as well as predicting their maximum attainable efficiency, numerical modeling is widely utilized to simulate the behavior of OSCs. Although some indispensable parameters are neglected or hypothesized because of inexplicitness in simulation models for OSCs, numerical modeling can describe the kinetic process in OSCs intuitively. This paper summarizes the optical/electrical models in the BHJ solar cell, as well as addresses their corresponding development in recent years on the basis of device physics and its working principle.
