Assessing the capacity of renewable power production for green energy system: a way forward towards zero carbon electrification
Ghana suffers from inadequate power supply due to increasing demand though it is amongst the African nations with the highest access to electricity. This research aims to assess the techno-economic potential of wind and solar energy potential for Ghana’s northern part. We employ the Weibull distribu...
