Background of the Study
The global demand for renewable energy sources is increasing due to concerns about climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels. Among renewable energy sources, solar energy is one of the most promising due to its abundance and sustainability. However, the efficient utilization of solar energy requires optimizing solar energy systems to maximize energy capture, conversion, and storage. This involves complex calculations, system simulations, and optimization processes that are traditionally handled by classical computing algorithms.
Quantum computing, with its ability to process large datasets in parallel and solve complex optimization problems more efficiently than classical computers, holds significant promise for improving the efficiency of solar energy systems. Quantum algorithms can be used to optimize the design of solar panels, energy storage solutions, and grid integration, as well as improve energy forecasting. This study aims to explore how quantum algorithms can be applied to enhance the efficiency of solar energy systems at Kaduna Electric, Kaduna State, improving energy generation, storage, and distribution.
Statement of the Problem
While solar energy systems are a promising solution for sustainable energy production, their efficiency is often hindered by limitations in classical computational methods. The optimization of solar panels, energy storage, and grid management remains a challenge, particularly in maximizing the energy yield and reducing operational costs. Kaduna Electric, which provides electricity in Kaduna State, faces the need for advanced computational techniques to optimize its solar energy operations. This study will investigate how quantum computing can enhance the efficiency of solar energy systems by solving optimization problems that classical computing struggles to address.
