“…Despite this, the primary source of energy in South Sudan is mainly focused on oil, and the capital city relies on a power plant that runs on diesel fuel. However, this power plant experiences frequent interruptions in the electricity supply [48]. Diesel-powered power plants provide the vast majority (73%) of electricity access rate.…”

Currently, Solar PVs are gaining considerable acceptance because of their ability to directly convert sunlight into electric power. Nevertheless, photovoltaic-generated electricity may fail to satisfy the ever-increasing energy demand because it does not provide a consistent supply that aligns with the needs of consumers. To solve this problem, energy storage has recently gained importance in gridconnected Photo Voltaic (PV) plants. This helps in managing loads more flexibly and overcoming problems related to power quality faced by grid-distributed networks, thereby making PV plants valuable and appealing. To effectively integrate PV plants and storage systems into the power grid, various techniques for battery management have been developed to create a demand that is more responsive to prices. The wider deployment of PV systems is hindered by the lack of supporting policies. This study reviews different techniques of configuration and modeling employed for the optimal operationalization of PV grid-tied systems with battery storage. We examined numerous optimization methods and dispatch mechanisms for energy stored that capitalize on the monetary worth of battery-operated PV systems. We also discuss the grid-connected PV system-related power quality and control technology challenges. Finally, we explored several functioning and maintenance concerns of battery-operated PV systems and highlighted the financial and ecological advantages of PV grid-tied configuration. The goal of this study was to review several technical issues related to the condition of PV systems. These issues include energy regulation, various cell technologies, energy management and scheduling methods, reliability, and power quality. We also discuss whether findings from the University of Juba should be adopted.

“…The energy deficit between supply and demand is growing and the country started importing electricity from Ethiopia in 2012 ( Rabah et al, 2016). The areas connected to the electricity grid suffer from a 40% electricity shortage, which forces the National Authority of Electricity to schedule regular power cuts especially in the summer ( Ghandour, 2016).…”

Solar PV research in East Africa has concentrated on solar home systems (SHS) in each country. However, several other fundamental advances in the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry have emerged, and the developments have seen the sector experienced significant growth and diversification of models, regulation, and financing. This paper begins with an extensive narrative on the solar PV outlook of each of the six countries studied. A solar PV minigrid was also simulated using HOMER software with a critical load of 2800.0 kWh/day in order to analyze the peak shaving capability and assess the affordability of the solar PV microgrid having commercial and industrial loads. The regional overview of the efforts was identified, followed by a description of the models, payment methods, and barriers encountered collectively. The lessons from this research suggest that there is a vast potential for solar PV micro and minigrid deployment in the region with a population of over 100 million people lacking access to electricity by the end of 2019. It shows that solar PV minigrid deployment in East Africa is still at a nascent phase. Also, minigrid developers face several challenges operating in rural areas. While solar PV minigrids remain fairly nascent in the East Africa region, the technology is gaining traction, a development that indicates budding confidence in the solar PV minigrid technology. This study identifies that (1) with large critical loads (industrial and commercial), solar PV minigrid can still contribute to affordable electricity through peak shaving, except Tanzania; (2) solar PV minigrid projects are largely dependent on donor financing, require vast financial diversity to get off the ground, and offer consistent service; (3) Governments support in the form of National electrification strategies, policies, and regulation are key ingredients for realizing the electrification of rural populations through minigrids; (4) hybrid minigrids and power demand creation have emerged as an approach that ensures sustainability or profitability for the operating solar minigrid firms. Overall, government policy and regulation, funding, and financial sustainability remain the major hurdles to minigrid uptake in the region.
