Analysis of a Solar‐Assisted Crude Oil Refinery System
This paper proposes a solar-assisted method for a petrochemical refinery, considering hydrogen production deployed in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, as a case study to
The amount of fuel and cost savings by the integration of a solar hybrid system into the refinery and the payback period of the system by using different types of fuel in the furnace are shown in Table 6. Table 6. Payback period of the proposed system by using different fuel.
By emphasizing the rationale behind selecting an oil refinery plant as the case study, the aim is to highlight the broader implications of the findings for enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of energy systems in dynamic operational environments. 2. Materials and methods 2.1. The refinery and its location

The refinery's dedicated power plant operates on a Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) with a production capacity of 80 MW, comprising five 16 MW units. Due to water scarcity and the aging infrastructure of the power plant, at most, three 16 MW units can operate simultaneously.
