Scatec Solar has commissioned a combined solar and battery storage plant in Malakal, South Sudan. The plant will power the Humanitarian Hub in Malakal, which is managed by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The project will reduce the diesel consumption at the Hub by at least 80%.
Investigated the techno-economic viability of hypothetical off-grid HRES under two options for energy storage (battery and hydrogen) to meet the electrical energy demand for the coastal area considering different load profiles for seasonal and regular occupancy.
Scatec Solar developed this project by partnering with Norwegian company Kube Energy. The Norwegian solar company will design, supply, install and operate a 700kW capacity solar photovoltaic plant and a 1.6MWh battery energy storage system which will be connected to the existing diesel generators.

A just-commissioned solar and battery storage system will reduce diesel consumption by at least 80% at a base for 300 humanitarian workers in South Sudan, managed by the UN''s International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
The investigation demonstrated the impact of PV penetration and battery storage on energy production, cost of energy and number of operational hours of diesel generators for the given hybrid configurations.

We examined numerous optimization methods and dispatch mechanisms for energy storage that capitalize on battery-operated PV systems'' monetary worth. We also discuss the grid-connected PV system-related power quality and control technology challenges.
Several configurations of wind, PV, battery storage, converter technologies and diesel generators were investigated. In order to identify the most suitable configuration, the
Several configurations of wind, PV, battery storage, converter technologies and diesel generators were investigated. In order to identify the most suitable configuration, the stochastic behaviour of RE technologies was considered.
The first phase of the project has been already completed with a successful reclamation of around 400 Hectare, where the existing electrical energy system is isolated from the national grid of Sudan and consisted from one standalone diesel generator, which is denoted by DG1 in this study.
Notwithstanding the great efforts made by local utilities in Sudan to address the electricity sector’s bottlenecks, only 46% of the population in Sudan have a reliable and safe source of electrical energy according to International Energy Agency statistic in 2016 .
This due to the availability of renewable energy of resources (i.e. wind and solar) over the year. Fig. 8 shows Sudan’s solar atlas and wind atlases obtained from the World Bank Group.
The two maps demonstrate the distribution of average solar radiation and average wind speed over Sudan, whereas the average values of solar radiation and wind speed recorded around 6.5 kWh/m 2 /day and 6.0 m/s, respectively, thus they are measured as among the highest values in the world. Fig. 8.
Therefore, to cover the future increase and decrease of the diesel fuel price, the sensitivity analysis was performed at values of 0.5, 1.0, 1.28, and 2.0 $/L. Finally, according to Trading Economic , the interest rate in Sudan has changed from 4 to around 14% since 2003.
Also, to the best of author’s knowledge, there is no work has been done in the literature with a strategic context to study specifically the feasibility investigation of HRES in Sudan despite the abundance of solar and wind resources.
