TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of different power generation configurations comprising solar array, wind turbine and diesel generator in different locations within the geo-political zones of Nigeria was investigated and the analysis indicates that the PV/diesel/battery hybrid renewable system configuration is found as optimum architecture for both sensitivity cases of 1.1 and $1.3/l of diesel.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined and discussed the current perspectives of solar energy utilization as a renewable energy option in Nigeria from the standpoint of sustainable development and suggested steps and policy measures to overcome the barriers and facilitates the utilization of this resource.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined wind characteristics from seven meteorological stations within the North-West (NW) geo-political region of Nigeria using 36-year (1971-2007) wind speed data measured at 10 m height subjected to 2-parameter Weibull analysis.

TL;DR: The potentials of major renewable energy sources (wind and solar) in selected locations across the six geo-political regions of Nigeria, based on long-term daily meteorological data spanning between 18 and 39 years were reviewed in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined wind energy potential in Jos, Nigeria using 37-year (1971-2007) wind speed data measured at 10-m height subjected to 2-parameter Weibull analysis.
