Feasibility of wind power integration in weak grids in non-coastal areas of sub-saharan Africa: the case of Mali

Feasibility of wind power integration in weak grids in non-coastal areas of sub-saharan Africa: the case of Mali

Installed wind capacity in Africa has grown rapidly the last few years, and by late 2016 had reached about 4.8 GW. However, so far few investments have been made in inland localities due to the generally lower wind potential. This paper therefore explores if and to what extent it is possible to esta...
