Can solar/wind/diesel/batteries provide electricity in 25 sites of Chad?

assessed the Grid/PV/Wind hybrid energy system viability to provide electricity in 25 sites of Chad . designed a solar/wind/diesel/batteries for three climatic zones of Chad . investigated the feasibility of solar/wind/diesel/batteries for the supply of energy needs of Amjarass (a town in Chad).

How fast does wind energy work in Chad?

The global solar radiation varies from 4.5 to 6.5 kWh/m 2 /d. For the wind energy, the speed of calm winds varies from 4 m/s to 9 m/s from south to north . Our motivation aims to propose hybrid energy systems to resolve the low access rate of electricity in Chad.

How can Chad solve the energy crisis?

For the Chadian government to solve the energy crisis, it can attract investors by exploring such type of feasibility study of options to electrify the isolated areas. The renewable energy implementation with hybrid system design can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase electricity access rate in Chad.

How a hybrid energy system can improve electricity access rate in Chad?

The renewable energy implementation with hybrid system design can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase electricity access rate in Chad. The National Electricity Company generates electricity using only the diesel generators.

Does Chad have a hybrid energy system?

In this study, the hybrid energy systems are proposed for all the regions that are not yet electrified in Chad. The National Electricity Company (NEC) of Chad produces and distributes the electricity only in 7 of the 23 regions of Chad; meaning that 16 are un-electrified.

Where are wind speeds measured in Chad?

The wind speeds considered for this work in the 16 un-electrified regions of Chad, these data are measured at 50 m above the ground. They are shown in Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 each representing one site in the three geological zones. The Sahelian zone shows the least favorable wind speed in September.
