Renewable energy often referred to as clean energy, is an important energy source that comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydro-based energy. Zambia’s installed energy capacity stands at 2,800 Megawatts (MW) of which 85...

Solar energy plays a vital role in reducing energy deficits by providing a renewable and sustainable power source, and it significantly reduces contributions to climate change compared to fossil fuels. A deeper understanding of the concepts involved in the study of solar energy is crucial for the...

This research delves into the urgent matter of energy access in Zambia, where 70% of the population lacks electricity, aligning with the United Nations 2030 sustainable development agenda, SDG7. It seeks to understand the role of financial inclusion in bridging the gap between renewable energy...

This study, which was conducted and analyzed, examined the causes of power outages affecting essential loads such as hospitals, fire stations and many others due to storms, which caused the power distribution network's wooden poles to fall to the ground. The storm had wind speeds ranging from 30...

Zambia's National access to electricity is approximately 31 %, with 67 % of the urban having access and worse off in rural areas, which are very remote and far away from the electricity grid, with only 4 % of its population having access. Rural areas do not just need electricity for everyday uses...

Zambia and Ethiopia are two countries from southern and eastern of Africa due to their geographical location and other factor the environment condition is different. The research aims to Investigation how operational and climatic factor affect PV-grid tied inverter. In Zambia the study focused on...

Sustainable hydropower development provides a reliable and stable power source that is economical and environmentally friendly. However, its investment capital is huge and unbearable to third-world countries. Hence the requirement of an alternative power source that is manageable. Zambia’s main...

The agricultural sector in most developing countries encounters a lot of post-harvest losses due to a lack of appropriate drying and storage facilities for preservation. Though many drying technologies have been developed, there is an increasing demand for automation in drying. Concerning this...

Access to electricity is one of the main drivers in the process of sustainable development. Access to energy transforms the lives of people, communities, and nations. The main issue facing developing countries is the lack of access to affordable and reliable electricity supply for their...

Climate change has greatly affected Zambia’s hydropower production. This has contributed to reduced amounts of electricity being injected into the utility grid. Zambia has therefore embarked on igniting different solar energy initiatives. However, no critical study has been done to document the...
