Wind Energy Potential Assessment in Four Cities of Libya
This project presents the findings of an assessment study of wind energy potential in four selected areas: Nalot, Alraiyna, Gharyan, and Asabah, located in Libya.
The average potential of solar PV and onshore wind over the Libyan territories amounts to 1.9 MWh/kW/year and 400 W/m, respectively. Notwithstanding, biomass and geothermal energy sources are likely to play an important complementary role in this regard.
Existing utilization state and predicted development potential of various RE technologies in Libya, including solar energy, wind (onshore & offshore), biomass, wave and geothermal energy, are thoroughly investigated.
There have been few works in literature for the assessment of large-scale PV projects in Libya. The potential of installing a 50 MW PV power plant at Al Kufra was evaluated in Ref. [ ]. The study indicated that the proposed PV plant can generate 114 GWh and reduce 76 ktCO pollution per annum.
Based on the analysis of bathymetric and Wind Atlas data, offshore wind technology in Libya has been technically evaluated. Specifically, at 4 km distance from the shore of Karsa at 32.87 N and 22.47E is the most preferable location for offshore wind projects with a power density of 717 W/m at 100 m height.
