Techno-Economic Assessment of Renewable Energy Integration in Higher Education Institutions in Somalia: Case Study of Jamhuriya University of Science and Technology
摘要
The integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power into the energy mix of developing countries presents a promising avenue for sustainable development. This study investigates the economic viability of a hybrid solar, wind, and grid-connected energy system in Somalia, specifically focusing on Jamhuriya University. The aim of the research is to evaluate the potential economic advantages and feasibility of integrating renewable energy sources with the existing grid infrastructure. The analysis includes a comprehensive assessment of the cost effectiveness, return on investment, and potential energy savings associated with the pro-posed hybrid system. Factors such as solar and wind resource availability, electricity demand profiles, and financial considerations are taken into account during the evaluation. The study’s findings provide valuable insights into the economic viability and sustainability of hybrid energy systems in Jamhuriya University of Science and Technology. The results also highlight the economic advantages, environmental benefits, and potential challenges associated with the adoption of renewable energy solutions in the region, thereby offering a blueprint for other institutions and communities grappling with energy challenges.
