Technical and economic aspects of the development of green energy in the Middle East region

Abstract

The effectiveness of solar and wind power plants has been analyzed, as well as the prospects for the development of green energy in the countries of the Middle East region. The development of green energy contributes, on the one hand, to saving fossil fuels extracted from the earth there-by extending their use, and on the other hand, the alternative high-tech complexes working on solar and wind energy could also be widely applied. Comparative characteristics of solar and wind energy are given, as well as an assessment of the effectiveness of its use in the states of Middle East is carried out. It was concluded that it is necessary to develop and create energy-technological complexes based on the synthesis of solar panels and wind generators, and electric energy storage systems. Project proposals for the energy-technological complex of the countries of Middle East based on solar and wind installations are posed.
