Designing a 10 MW peak solar power plant using a system
Solar photovoltaic systems consist of inverter (for DC to AC conversion), solar modules (for direct conversion of solar radiation to electricity), batteries, and charger controllers.
CHARACTERIZING RESOURCES AND LOADS IN MOGADISHU In order to build the daily load profile of Mogadishu city, this study analyzed the power production of the three private electric suppliers in the area: BECO, MPS, and Blue-Sky. These companies generate the electricity that powers the city, with each one operating independently.
According to Power Africa, a US government initiative, electricity providers in Somalia charge consumers up to $0.65 per kW h, primarily relying on isolated diesel-powered grids. 2 This rate significantly surpasses what consumers pay in many other parts of the world.
The best balance between cost-competitiveness and environmental performance is struck by the hybrid PV/wind/diesel system. By investing in this configuration, Somalia could significantly curb its greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution at a reasonable cost.
Mogadishu maintains warm temperatures year-round but exhibits seasonal variation, as revealed in the hourly NASA data in Fig. 4. 57 March and April bring the hottest days, with temperatures topping 31 °C—July and August experience lows around 25 °C. The annual temperature profile will inform the renewable system design.
