Technical Economic and Environmental Analysis on the Potential of Solar and Wind Micro-Grid Systems in Nigeria

Comparative Estimation of Onshore (Okada) and Offshore (Okerenkoko) Wind Speed for Potential Wind Energy Access in Delta State, Nigeria

“…Because there are no fuel expenses involved, wind energy systems have low operating costs (Düzcan and Kara, 2021;Attabo et al, 2023). Leading experts in the field came to the conclusion that system operating cost increases from wind variability and uncertainty amounted to only about 10% or less of the wholesale value of the wind energy, and that there are ways to reduce these costs (Deep et al, 2020;Emenuvwe et al, 2022). Large additions of wind energy may require additional generation to accommodate the variability of the wind energy.…”

Nigerian wind energy status

“…There has been a steady increase in global energy demand (Okeniyi et al, 2015; Otuagoma, 2016). More energy is required as the world population increases (Emenuvwe et al, 2022). Improved economy, technological advancement and industrialisation are other contributing factors to the increase in global energy needs (Emenuvwe et al, 2022; Patidar et al, 2022).…”

Improved economy, technological advancement and industrialisation are other contributing factors to the increase in global energy needs (Emenuvwe et al, 2022; Patidar et al, 2022). This is caused by the dependence of all human activities on one form of energy or another (Otuagoma, 2016).…”
