“…These results are supported by previous studies. For example, Kassem and Abdalla [108] determined that the LCOE for a 5 kW Vertical Axis Wind Generator-V ranged from 0.08703 to 0.01025 USD/kWh. In comparison, the LCOE for a 5 kW grid-connected PV system varied from 0.036 to 0.049 USD/kWh.…”

“…For instance, Celik [97] studied the wind speed characteristics at Iskenderun in Turkey using 2p-W and 1p-R. Hussain et al [98] estimated the wind power density for Gwadar, Jiwani, Ormara, and Pasni in Pakistan using 2p-W. Serban et al [99] evaluated the wind power potential at two locations in Romania using 2p-W and 1p-R. Ali et al [100] utilized 2p-W and 1p-R for evaluating the WSCsd at Deokjeok-do Island, Incheon, in South Korea. Moreover, several scientific researchers have analyzed the WSCs using various distribution functions (DFs) to determine the best-fit probability distribution [101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115]. Table S3 in the Supplementary Materials summarizes the previous studies associated with studying the WSCs using various DFs.…”

Generating electricity from renewable energy instead of fossil fuels brings great benefits to the environment and sustainable development. Thus, assessing the potential of wind and solar energy in agricultural coastal areas can identify sustainable energy solutions for meeting energy demand and producing fresh water for agricultural applications and domestic use. However, it is difficult to accurately assess the wind and solar energy potential in Libya due to the civil war, lack of measured data, and its limited availability. Consequently, this concise work is unique because it is the first to use daily measurement data from Az-Zāwiyah, Libya, for evaluating wind and solar energy based on one year of measured data for 2022. Moreover, the present study aims to investigate the potential of wind and solar energy as promising renewable sources for meeting energy demand in coastal agricultural regions in Libya using multiple datasets for the first time. In this paper, five satellite products (TerraClimate, ERA5, ERA5-Land, MERRA-2, and CFSR) were assessed and compared against measured data for January 2022–December 2022 to understand their suitability, accuracy, and reliability. The results showed that CFSR and ERA5-Land demonstrate the most favorable performance for assessing the wind resource, while all satellite products can be utilized for preliminary solar resource assessment. Then, the assessment of wind and solar resources was evaluated in five agricultural coastal regions (Aljmail, Az-Zāwiyah, Castelverde, Msallatah, and Sabratah) based on the best satellite product for the period of 2000–2022. Furthermore, the performance of the wind and solar power systems was investigated for typical farms, which were chosen to estimate the required energy demand according to daily electrical consumption. The results show that the positive outcomes of implementing these systems were highlighted, with an emphasis on their potential benefits to the entire Libyan agricultural sector. Accordingly, scaling up and generalizing the proposed systems and generalizing them to include all farms in Libya could have a significant impact on national electricity generation, mitigate greenhouse gases, and contribute to the development of the agricultural sector and the country’s economy.

“…Sudan is facing an electricity crisis, grappling with inconsistent power supply and high demand. However, solar energy exhibits promising potential in Sudan compared to other renewable resources, thanks to its widespread availability across the country [6]. Indeed, with Sudan already having six dams, implementing floating PV systems on these water bodies presents a viable opportunity to address the electricity crisis and advance toward sustainability goals.…”

The deployment of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems has gained global attention due to technological advancements and cost reductions. Floating PV (FPV) is becoming a preferred alternative, offering efficiency and environmental benefits. It can be installed on dams lakes and reservoirs, generating clean energy without competing for land use. Despite the promising prospects of floating PV, there has been a lack of analysis on its implementation in Sudan. To fill this gap, the present study delves into the feasibility and potentiality of FPV at Merowe Dam and Khashm El Girba Dam in Sudan, providing crucial insights for the first time. The developed systems were evaluated using PVsyst. The results show that investing in FPV systems on dam reservoirs significantly improves power system reliability while generating additional clean energy, meeting the rising demand, and reducing carbon emissions. This highlights the potential of FPV systems as a promising solution for sustainable energy growth, mitigating environmental concerns, and ensuring a greener future.

“…The positive impacts of renewable energy generation systems on power systems include reducing carbon emissions, reducing dependence on imported energy price volatility, and so on. The global focus on decarbonization has elevated it to a crucial policy objective, stimulating the growth of renewable energy in various countries [1]. In addition, renewable energy generation systems can be integrated into power systems in each region and use their generation in that region, which can reduce energy loss during long-distance transmission.…”

As the proportion of renewable energy generation systems increases, traditional power generation facilities begin to face challenges, such as reduced output power and having the power turned off. The challenges are causing changes in the structure of the power system. Renewable energy sources, mainly wind and solar energy cannot provide stable inertia and frequency regulation capability. Ultimately, the power system’s emergency response capability to face an N-1 is reduced, which leads to a reduction in system stability. Therefore, the application technology of the battery energy storage system is used to support the impact of changes in the new power system structure. This paper designed control technologies based on the WECC second-generation generic model, namely, dynamic regulation, steady regulation, and virtual inertia regulation. The models and control strategies are verified on Taiwan’s 2025 power system target conditions, which consider the expected capacities for battery energy storage systems, and renewable energy sources with different load and N-1 fault levels. According to the simulation results, the capabilities of the RoCoF limitation, frequency nadir, frequency recovery, and system oscillation regulation are evaluated in the proposed strategies. Finally, the analysis results can help power operators make informed decisions when selecting and deploying battery energy storage systems.
