Design of 50 MW Grid Connected Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant in Dongola City, Sudan

During unfair war in Sudan breeze up since April 2023, big energy generation shortage took place in Sudanese National Grid (SNG). The power distribution company fails to supply the required demands for residence and commercial consumers with sustainable energy. Power interruptions during day and night is big headache for residential and commercial subscribers. Due to dependence on thermal generation, in war time the priority is for food products so furnace importing stopped which led to the noticeable shortage in generation. In the recent years renewable energy resources have gained much importance due to friendly environmental and climate enhancements. Beside this the needs to reliable energy supply became urgent. The huge energy source like the sun helps in afford sustainable and economic supply. Dongola city in Sudan has a dry climate so it receives big quantity of solar energy. The average solar energy about 4.97kwh/m2 /day is received. The other types of renewable power like wind energy is also available for construction. PV syst, PV-GIS and MATLAB are the simulation software applied for this project.
