التحليل الكمي للطاقة الكهربائية في واحة الأحساء والآفاق المستقبلية لتطويرها

الملخص EN

The quantitative analysis in this study helped to reveal the extent of the relationship between the consumption of electric energy in the number of the population and the number of subscribers according to the consumer sectors and the geographical distribution of the areas of electric energy services in the al-Ahsa oasis, as one of the indicators that can be measured to know the volume of demand for electric power and measure its impact and thus predict it.

we find that there is a discrepancy between the consuming sectors of electric energy in the al-Ahsa oasis compared to the total energy consumption and the relative distribution of subscribers, and this consumption tends to increase according to the nature of the urban heart of the oasis and the surrounding and growing human gatherings, in addition to the growth in the number of population and housing in al-Ahsa oasis with the high share of the per capita area of land, and this simultaneous growth in spatial and population requires an increase in urban expansion, and thus an increase in the demand for infrastructure.

the household sector comes at the forefront of the sectors consuming electrical energy with a percentage of 58.26%, and although agricultural use is the largest land use in al-Ahsa oasis, the lack of electrical energy consumption in this sector is due to several reasons, the most important of which are: the primitive agricultural methods used in al-Ahsa oasis, the limited use of electricity in this activity, in addition to the policies and operational controls followed by the electricity company in classifying the types of subscriptions if they are agricultural or industrial, etc., the study was able to analyze the correlation between the consuming electric energy sectors and this explains that the greater the number of subscribers and the number of people in the residential sector whenever there is an increase in demand for electric energy in the al-Ahsa oasis, according to a strong positive relationship, and the rest of the consumer sectors have strong and similar correlation coefficients.

the results of the sectoral geographical analysis of electric power showed that the Hofuf services area won the first place with 55.73% of the total electric energy consumed in the al-Ahsa oasis.

the indicator of the subscriber's share of electric energy exceeds the indicator of the per capita share, according to the classification of subscribers to the electric energy sectorally and geographically.
