(DOI: 10.1016/j.rser.2022.112366) Sudan is a sunbelt country that has abundant solar resources and large wasteland areas, especially in the northern and western portions. Concentrating
Sudan has excellent solar power potential due to extended daylight hours, few cloudy days, low rainfall, and high DNI, i.e., more than 2500 kWh/m 2 /year [34]. It has a climate that consists of 21.9% low-rainfall
Sudan must use policy strategies to initiate a market-based renewable portfolio and connect solar generation with the electricity grid. These market incentives can include
Figure 1 shows the potential for electricity generation from solar PV throughout Sudan as estimated in the World Bank''s Solar Atlas. Wind energy also has a significant potential, especially in coastal areas, with recent studies
Although power generation has continued to grow in the post-independence era, only 56% of the Sudan has abundance of solar resources with average solar insolation ranging between 5.5
Developing nations have a critical need to increase electricity supply. Sudan has much unrealized potential for generating solar energy, particularly in the northern region. This research study focuses on designing a
These studies highlighted the excellent solar PV energy potential the country has due to its high solar irradiation rates and long hours of sunshine. Several research papers have looked at the potential of solar PV in Sudan .
On the other hand, there is a promising potential in adopting solar power in the country. Germany, the leading country in solar energy, averages less than 140 hours of sunlight per month in its sunniest city Stuttgart. Sudan's location allows it to receive up to 11 hours of direct sunlight daily, equivalent to 436-639 W/m2 of solar energy density.

Most of the attention is given to solar photovoltaic (PV) systems; no thorough techno-economic study has been carried out to evaluate the potential for CSP technologies in Sudan. The main aim of this paper is to encourage Sudan's authorities to pursue CSP technologies and overcome the associated challenges.
The study used techno-economic analysis for two of the most mature CSP technologies – solar power tower (SPT) and parabolic trough (PT) technology – to produce electricity in Sudan. Two commercial CSP plants, namely GEMASOLAR and ANDASOL-1, have been “hypothetically” relocated in six Sudanese zones using the system advisor model (SAM).
Concentrated solar power plants can play a significant role in alleviating Sudan’s energy crisis. These plants can be established and implemented in Sudan, as their potential is considerably high due to the climate conditions in Sudan.
