South Sudan''''s energy sector is critical to its economy, as oil exports account for a significant chunk of its revenue. The country''''s oil deposits, which are predominantly concentrated in the
Abstract Sudan loss of its oil rich south in 2011 made it realize the significance of renewable energy. Present huge energy demands particularly from the residential and agricultural sectors
This article discusses optimum designs of photovoltaic (PV) systems with battery energy storage system (BESS) by using real-world data. Specifically, we identify the optimum
The initiative aims to update the energy sector diagnos-tics and analytics to inform the re-engagement in South Sudan''s energy sector. Additionally, the programme will develop options
This article highlights the potential applications of solar energy and its role in enhancing economic development in Sudan. Empirical data
With the implementation of appropriate policies and regulatory framework, Sudan can foster solar energy and eradicate the need for people to burn fuel and wood for
This policy brief sheds light on the potential of renewable energy as a solution to South Sudan''s ongoing electricity crisis.
Why Energy Storage Matters for Iraq and South Sudan Let''s face it – when you think of energy innovation, war-torn Iraq and flood-prone South Sudan probably aren''t the first countries that
The article deals with the energy security dynamics in South Sudan. It aims to shed a light on the different energy potentials that South
Country context South Sudan, a landlocked country in East Africa with a population of approximately 11.4 million, has experienced significant levels of fragility, conflict,
This paper provides a comprehensive review of ESS policies worldwide, identifying the different goals, objectives and the expected outcomes. It discusses the benefits
PDF | Solar photovoltaic, as a new type of energy, is a clean, efficient energy that China strongly encourages and supports to use. With the proposal of... | Find,
This chapter presents the important features of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and an overview of electrical storage technologies. The basic unit of a solar PV generation system is a
While grid extension to all parts of the country and universal electrification remains as a long term vision, incorporation of off-grid renewable energy options for rural electrification is a very viable
Ever wondered what happens when a sun-drenched nation decides to turn its scorching rays into 24/7 power? Enter Sudan''s new energy storage industry project, where
This paper examines the development history of China''s PV industry policy system from the perspective of industrial policies and compares China with United States,
South Sudan is the youngest nation on this Earth with a popula-tion of 8.26 million. Only 1% of which, including the government, have access to electricity. Modern forms of energy are few
Therefore, there is an increase in the exploration and investment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to exploit South Africa''s high solar
South Sudan has taken a significant step toward renewable energy with the launch of its first large-scale solar power project. The Ezra
The growth of China''s PV industry owes much of its momentum to government policies. Acknowledging the pivotal role of a robust PV sector in promoting sustainable energy
The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA PVPS) is one of the TCP''s within the IEA and was established in 1993. The mission of the programme is to "enhance the international
The efficiency (i PV) of a solar PV system, indicating the ratio of converted solar energy into electrical energy, can be calculated using equation [10]: (4) i P V = P max / P i n c where P
The institutional and regulatory governance of the of-grid energy sector in South Sudan is still nascent. Table 2 below lists the major players participating in the governance of the energy industry and their positions as defined by applicable laws.
Refugee contexts in countries such as Jordan have also led to the increased transition to solar energy through donor-led initiatives. Humanitarian agencies can also play a critical role in generating demand for solar systems in South Sudan refugee settlements, where biomass is predominantly used as energy source (Lemi & La Belle, 2020).
Its role as a power utility is expected to intensify as programmes to increase electricity access in South Sudan are implemented. It is proposed under the Electricity Bill 2015 as the regulatory entity for the electricity sector in South Sudan. It would function as the energy regulator whose functions would include the creation of regulations.
In line with the East Africa Community member states, South Sudan should remove import duty on solar products. Such measures could also result in improved afordability of the end products by households. Tarif rises should also be linked to prevailing exchange rates and inflation levels since solar companies cannot change their prices.
The solar PV market in South Sudan is growing steadily, but minimal information is available. Additionally, most companies operating in the country within the value chain do not have an online presence. As such, the study mainly relied on primary information collected from the companies with which key informant interviews were conducted.
Another impediment to developing the of-grid solar sector in South Sudan is the limited capacity of technicians to install, maintain and repair the solar systems (Mozersky & Kammen, 2018).
