Journal Article
Cuce, E., & Omer, S. (2024). Impact of Ground Heat Source Addition on Main Performance Parameters of Solar Chimney Power Plants: A Numerical Study. Journal of Solar Energy Research Updates, 11, 45-54. https://doi.org/10.31875/2410-2199.2024.11.06

Solar energy systems can be an alternative to fossil fuels and are vital for a sustainable environment. It is promising that solar chimney power plants (SCPPs), which are among the solar energy systems, provide 24-hour power output (PO) and can work...

Towards sustainable urban living: A holistic energy strategy for electric vehicle and heat pump adoption in residential communities (2024)
Journal Article
Dik, A., Kutlu, C., Sun, H., Calautit, J. K., Boukhanouf, R., & Omer, S. (2024). Towards sustainable urban living: A holistic energy strategy for electric vehicle and heat pump adoption in residential communities. Sustainable Cities and Society, 107, Article 105412. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2024.105412

Electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps (HPs) are key in reducing carbon emissions from transportation and domestic heating, yet their adoption may increase peak load demands on electrical networks. One of the aims of this research is to assess the po...

An approach for energy management of renewable energy sources using electric vehicles and heat pumps in an integrated electricity grid system (2023)
Journal Article
Dik, A., Kutlu, C., Omer, S., Boukhanouf, R., Su, Y., & Riffat, S. (2023). An approach for energy management of renewable energy sources using electric vehicles and heat pumps in an integrated electricity grid system. Energy and Buildings, 294, Article 113261. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2023.113261

The demand for electricity has been increasing worldwide and it is predicted that this trend will be particularly reinforced in developing countries by the gradual electrification of the transport sector and heat generation in buildings. The energy... Read More about An approach for energy management of renewable energy sources using electric vehicles and heat pumps in an integrated electricity grid system.

Identification of Potential Barriers to Electric Vehicle Adoption in Oil-Producing Nations—The Case of Saudi Arabia (2022)
Journal Article
Alotaibi, S., Omer, S., & Su, Y. (2022). Identification of Potential Barriers to Electric Vehicle Adoption in Oil-Producing Nations—The Case of Saudi Arabia. Electricity, 3(3), 365-395. https://doi.org/10.3390/electricity3030020

Electric vehicles (EVs) are important elements in the global strategy to tackle climate change; however, research often fails to sufficiently identify the range of barriers which affect their adoption. Taking Saudi Arabia as a case study, this paper... Read More about Identification of Potential Barriers to Electric Vehicle Adoption in Oil-Producing Nations—The Case of Saudi Arabia.

Factors Leading to High Energy Consumption in Residential Buildings in Saudi Arabia (2021)
Journal Article
Alyami, M., & Omer, S. (2021). Factors Leading to High Energy Consumption in Residential Buildings in Saudi Arabia. International Journal of Advances in Mechanical and Civil Engineering, 8(2), 12-16

In developing countries like Saudi Arabia, the experience of a rapid rate of urbanisation and ‎ infrastructure expansion, especially with respect to buildings is immense. The role of buildings is even more ‎ important as they account for around 80% o... Read More about Factors Leading to High Energy Consumption in Residential Buildings in Saudi Arabia.

A Review on the Potential of Electric Vehicles in Reducing World CO2 Footprints (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alotaibi, S., Omer, S., & Su, Y. (2020, December). A Review on the Potential of Electric Vehicles in Reducing World CO2 Footprints. Presented at XIV. International Conference on Electric Vehicle Engineering and Applications, Paris, France

The conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) based vehicles are a threat to the environment as they account for a large proportion of the overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the world. Hence, it is required to replace these vehicles with m... Read More about A Review on the Potential of Electric Vehicles in Reducing World CO2 Footprints.
