Seasons of Power: Streamlining strategies for renewable electricity generation from sun, wind and water in sub-Saharan Africa

Boek - Dissertatie

This thesis is a collection of various modelling studies, carried out on the basis of state-of-the-art meteorological, climatological and hydrological data products, to map the potential for solar PV power, wind power and hydropower generation across sub-Saharan Africa at high spatiotemporal resolution. Particular attention is herein given to the patterns of these resources in space and time, and their synergies from hourly to seasonal timescales across different climate zones. The research is meant to improve our understanding of how weather and climate control the potential for renewable power resources across sub-Saharan Africa, how variable renewable resources such as solar PV and wind could be better integrated in power grids and power pools across Africa, and how energy and climate services based on high-resolution spatiotemporal modelling of solar PV, wind and hydropower can help in decision making and planning for electricity generation across the African continent (and elsewhere).
