Graphical abstract Bahrain Petroleum Company created a zero emission lounge which operated using solar PV (4kW), wind turbine (1.7kW) and hydrogen fuel cell (1.2kW). The system produced a daily 13kWh and 30% of the expected theoretical output.
Highlights Bahrain Petroleum Company created a zero emission lounge which operated using solar PV (4kW), wind turbine (1.7kW) and hydrogen fuel cell (1.2kW). The lounge produces a daily 13kWh of renewable energy electricity and 30% of the expected theoretical output. The lounge produced 2,909kWh in 200 days which means that each house in Bahrain with a 4kW PV, will produce only 360kWh, i.e. 12% of the monthly average consumption. BIRE may contribute to 13% of total electricity produced in Bahrain by 2030 and has the potential to create hundreds of green jobs. For Bahrain to meet its obligation to have 5% of its electricity is from renewable energy source by 2030 it must install 1,386MW of PV for building out of expected 10,000MW by 2030.
Abstract Bapco in Bahrain created a zero emission lounge having PV (4kW), wind turbine (1.7kW) and hydrogen fuel cell (1.2kW). The system produced a daily 13kWh and 30% of the expected theoretical output. The performance of this lounge for 200 days shows it produced 2909kWh which indicates that if each house in Bahrain is equipped with a 4kW PV, then its monthly amount of solar electrical will be 360kWh, i.e. 12% of the monthly average used electrical energy per household; saving 748GWh (1GWh=millionkWh) of conventional electricity, annually, which is equal to CO2 emission of 672,892t. Herein, the economic aspects of using building integrated renewable energy (BIRE) – based on the actual cost of this lounge is projected to reach 225,137 in 2030. It is found that BIRE may contribute to 13% of total electricity produced in Bahrain by 2030 and has the potential to create hundreds of green jobs. This project is an incentive for Bahrain to establish the Bahrain Green Council. It is found that (BIRE) in Bahrain would have a positive environmental impact and meet the goals of Bahrain Vision 2030.
