Smart wind and solar power Heard and McDonald Islands
赫德岛和麦克唐纳群岛位于南大洋，距南极洲约1700公里，离佩思(Perth)西南部约4100公里。作为亚南极的活火山群岛，这两个岛屿打开了“地球心底之窗”，为人类提供了观察正在进行的地貌. [pdf]FAQS about Smart wind and solar power Heard and McDonald Islands
What's happening on Heard Island & McDonald Islands?
Landing stores, Atlas Cove, Heard Island with Rogers Head in background Photo: Alan Campbell-Drury Due to the extreme isolation of Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI), together with the persistently severe weather and sea conditions, human activities in the region have been, and remain, limited.
Are there scientific studies on Heard Island?
Although hindered by the extreme isolation and unfavourable working conditions, scientific studies have been carried out on Heard Island since the first research visit by scientists from the HMS Challenger in 1874. See the Research Expeditions pages in the History section of this website for more information.
How many private yachts have visited Heard Island?
A low number of private yachts and commercial tourist vessels have visited Heard Island, although few successful landings have been made due to poor weather. Other private expeditions have included brief visits by ham radio enthusiasts, private scientific groups and mountaineering parties.
Why do people visit Heard Island?
Visits to Heard Island were initially associated with wildlife resource exploitation (see the 19th century sealing pages in the History section of this website) and then for research and management, private expeditions and for surveillance purposes.
How many people have landed on Heard Island?
Since the first landing on Heard Island in 1855, there have been only approximately 240 shore-based visits to the island, and only two landings on McDonald Island (in 1971 and 1980).
How has the wind power market changed over the years?
The wind power market has grown at a CAGR of 14% between 2010 and 2021 to reach 830 GW by end of 2021. This has largely been possible due to favourable government policies that have provided incentives to the sector. This has led to an increase in the share of...
Solar generator power station South Sudan
The Juba Solar Power Station is a proposed 20 MW (27,000 hp) solar power plant in South Sudan. The solar farm is under development by a consortium comprising Elsewedy Electric Company of Egypt, Asunim Solar from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and I-kWh Company, an energy consultancy firm also based in. . The power station would be located on a 25 hectares (62 acres) piece of real estate, approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) from , the capital and largest city of South Sudan. . The power station is reported to cost an estimated US$45 million to construct. The project has received a loan from the . . In March 2020, South Sudan's installed generation capacity was reported as approximately 130 MW.

Will South Sudan host a new grid-connected solar plant?
The capital of South Sudan is set to host a new 12 MWp grid-connected solar plant. The nation had just 1 MW of grid solar at the end of 2021, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), but that figure could be set to leap thanks to a project under development in Juba by Ugandan company Aptech Africa.
Will South Sudan build a 12 MWp solar plant in Juba?
Kampala-based developer Aptech Africa says it plans to build a 12 MWp solar plant in Juba. The capital of South Sudan is set to host a new 12 MWp grid-connected solar plant.
Why is solar energy important in South Sudan?
As characterised by ample sunshine with strong solar power potential, South Sudan remains as one of key destinations on African continent for solar energy investment. In addition to this, it has been documented that evolution of solar PV is of great significance in South Sudan.
Are solar power generators a problem in Sudan?
An economic comparison between three types of electricity generators; stand-alone PV modules (50 Wp), two imported gen-sets (0.5, 2.4 kW), and a small mini-grid system (313kW peak) proved challenging in adopting PV systems in Sudan (Dongola and Northern Kurdufan).
Which solar energy options are available in Sudan?
In Sudan, three solar energy options are available: 1. Solar PV energy: 1000 MW (on- and off-grid) will be applicable in different states within Sudan. 2. Solar CSP technology: 100 MW (grid connected) will be applicable, especially in the northern part of Sudan. 3. Waste to Energy: 80 MW (grid connected) will be applicable in several intended sites.
How long does solar energy last in South Sudan?
Proponents of solar energy argue that a solar system can produce reliable electricity for about 25 years. Having recognised solar energy potential, South Sudan is expected to put more emphasis on development of solar energy sector as part of its fight against energy poverty and economic diversification.
