Wind energy resource assessment based on the use of
Evaluating the wind resources in Sudan is of paramount importance for advancing wind power projects. This assessment constitutes a crucial step in enhancing energy security, alleviating
Sudan has significant wind and solar energy resources that are largely untapped. According to a World Bank study, Sudan has significant wind power potential along its coast on the Red Sea and in the Northern State. Sudan also has solar power potential, but renewable power tends to be small in scale and used for off-grid solutions.16
The average wind power intensity varies from 250 to 664 W/m 2, while the top 10% of land achieves an average wind power density of 500 W/m 2, falling at the lower bound of Wind Power Class 5, which indicates strong potential [177 - 180]. Recently, Kassem et al. conducted a study on the wind potential of 60 locations across Sudan.
The analysis reveals promising indicators of Sudan's ability to maximize its solar, wind, and geothermal energy resources. It also presents conclusions and recommendations concerning the future of RE policies and production in Sudan.
With abundant onshore wind, Sudan can adopt successful African strategies and attract regional and international energy initiatives, such as the Africa-EU partnership program, the Africa Clean Energy Corridor, and Power Africa .
