Abstract

Climate change and natural resource depletion are likely to affect the future economic development of a country. The generation of power from oil and gas is among the major causes of reserves depletion and global warming. However, renewable energy is also deemed a clean and green choice for power generation to promote sustainability in engineering. The coastal lines of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are widely extended, and wind energy appears to be a viable alternative to traditional sources, which needs to be investigated as it is highly desirable to seek energy from renewable energy sources, for instance, wind. This paper is aimed at addressing the wind energy potential along the Red Sea coast of KSA. Afterward, a suitable wind turbine based upon careful structural analysis has been proposed, which would form a basis, especially during the machine selection and design phases. For this purpose, seven different sites located along the coastal line, namely: Al Wajh, Umluj, Yanbu, Rabigh, Jeddah, Haddad, and Gizan, were initially selected to assess the wind energy availability. After that, a suitable turbine is recommended for yielding maximum output. It has been found from the reconnaissance that Al Wajh has sufficient land availability that receives high perennial wind speed, alongside shallow offshore water depth for monopile installation. Hence, this site is recommended for the development of a wind farm. Furthermore, turbines need to be installed at the height of almost 100 m to produce maximum energy to appropriately utilize the available indigenous wind energy. It is pertinent to mention that the superstructure of the turbines is designed based on the local loading conditions (wind, currents, waves, etc.) of the Al Wajh region. Also, the monopile substructures are proposed in the selected area in accordance with the available bathymetry.

Abstract

Law No. 17/2019 declared that the main objective of Indonesia’s national water resources management is one that is managed in a comprehensive, integrated, and environmentally conscious manner, with the purpose of establishing justice and the welfare for the people. Not only stating if the national water resources management must be environmentally conscious, but the law also defines conservation as one of the efforts required for water resources management. Thereby, in the interest of carrying out the formulation and implementation process of water resources management as defined by the law, currently the Directorate General of Water Resources has included water resources conservation as one of its thirteen general policies. Even so, these conservation and environmentally conscious efforts can be found in the operational strategies, goals and performance indicators. Aims: This study was aimed to obtain additional insights can be benefited for the formulation and implementation process in Indonesia. Methodology and results: Corresponding to the recent development in water resources management strategies which have begun to lead into the direction of nature-based solutions, or popularly also known as green infrastructure, this study conducts a literature review on the utilization of green infrastructure as water resources management strategies in several other countries. Conclusion, significance and impact study: Directorate General of Water Resources’ strategic planning document for the year 2020-2024 also indicates if the objective of Indonesia’s national water resources management is still focusing on grey infrastructure, particularly the construction of multipurpose dams.
