Use of renewable energy sources in Saudi Arabia through smart grid
Even though Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest producer and exporter of petroleum and petroleum based products, it is also blessed with high potential of renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Untapped wind and solar energy sources, which are abundant throughout the kingdom, can be connected...
