The wind resource appears to be suitable for power production on 85% of the country, very intense on 10% and uniform on 70%, being regular throughout.
This finding is reflective of the fact that renewable sources like wind, hydro and solar account for a greater share of power generation in most African countries.
Another contribution of wind power generation is that it allows countries to diversify their energy mix, which is especially important in countries where hydropower is a large component.
The correlations between wind power generation in different countries are important for quantifying the reductions in variability when electrically interconnecting the countries.
The resistance-type, direction-independent wind turbine is suitable for the generation of power on a small scale in developing countries.
Comparison of cost assessments of power generation show that by taking into account global fuel prices and incorporating air pollutant externalities, wind power can be as competitive as conventional power plants.
Our results show that, for generation in small geographic areas, the higher the number of generators, the better the wind power dependence structure is described by LHS.
According to the analysis result, we found that: (1) the performance of wind power generation industry is rising, and it has reached an optimal state in 2012.
