Sudan mpc solar systems

Which type of solar PV system is best for Sudan?

HOMER simulation results demonstrated that the optimal type of PV for Sudan is the Studer VarioTrack VT-65 with Generic PV. The utilization of a solar PV system will avoid the production of approximately 27 million kg/year of pollutants and will reduce the cost of energy to USD$ 0.08746/kWh.

Can solar power be used in Sudan?

Several research papers have examined the potential of solar PV in Sudan and especially on rooftops . These studies highlighted the excellent solar PV energy potential the country has due to its high solar irradiation rates and long hours of sunshine. ...

Is solar energy feasible in Sudan?

Situated in the sunbelt, Sudan is one of the largest countries in Africa endowed with an extremely high solar irradiation potential. However, no work has been done in the literature with a strategic context to study specifically the feasibility of renewable energy systems in Sudan despite the abundance of solar resource.

Does reducing PV costs reduce energy costs in Sudan?

Reducing the PV costs by 25% has a significant impact; the cost of energy produced reduces in the range of USD$ 0.06697/kWh and USD$ 0.06808/kWh, while a reduction in PV costs of 50% further reduces the cost of energy, ranging between USD$ 0.05273/kWh and USD$ 0.05361/kWh in the top five locations in Sudan.

Will solar power help solve Sudan's electricity crisis?

Given that Sudan is endowed with an extremely high solar irradiation potential, the government has set a target of achieving a 667 MW of PV installed capacity by the end of 2031 ( Murdock et al. 2019 ). This clearly reflects that the latter technology will play a key role in adjusting the electricity crisis of Sudan in the near future.

Which country has the highest level of solar radiation in Sudan?

Kutum and Wawa have the maximum level of solar radiation in Sudan followed by Al-Goled, Dongola and Wadi Halfa ( Fig. 9 ). With regard to clearness index ( Fig. 10 ), Wawa has the maximum clearness index followed by Wadi Halfa, Dongola, Al-Goled and Kutum. These locations also had the lowest energy costs compared to the other sites in Sudan.
