Overview

The Renewable Energy Systems initiative focuses on advancing innovative technologies and solutions that address the unique challenges of desert environments.

Projects

The proposed project aims to develop an intelligent Consolidated Utility Base Energy (iCUBE) system as a mobile, modular, scalable, efficient, and reliable integrated power solution to transform power distribution in various applications, such as mobile power backup systems for critical loads.

This project aims to evaluate and enhance the field performance, reliability, and resilience of PV systems while reducing operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. It seeks to leverage AI/ML techniques for energy yield prediction, optimized maintenance scheduling, and overall system performance enhancement. Additionally, it will utilize data-driven digital twins to transform PV operations into fully integrated digital systems. The project also focuses on designing and integrating distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems on rooftops to accelerate solar PV adoption, optimize grid integration, and enhance the resilience of the energy mix.

This project aims to support KAHRAMAA in enhancing renewable energy market analytics, introducing decentralized trading platforms, and building resilient energy systems, thereby fostering sustainable and smart energy ecosystems that drive economic growth and environmental sustainability.

The project develops energy systems models for Qatar and applies them to analyze cost-effective and practically feasible pathways for the country to reduce the environmental footprint of its energy sector. The model-based analysis provides evidence in support of energy-environmental policy-making and long-term energy infrastructure planning.
