Expanding access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity is an urgent priority in Somalia, which suffers from high energy costs and climate vulnerability despite negligible emissions.
There is no national power grid. Diesel generators are the primary source of electricity. Most generators and distribution equipment are old and inefficient, resulting in a low-quality electricity supply. Regarding costs per kilowatt-hour of electricity, Somalia has one of the highest unit prices in Africa.
Regarding costs per kilowatt-hour of electricity, Somalia has one of the highest unit prices in Africa. Somalia has higher tariffs than neighboring countries Kenya and Ethiopia, ranging from 50-125 cents/kWh compared to 0.15 cents/kWh in Kenya and 0.6 cents/kWh in Ethiopia. Somalia's energy sector is considered promising for growth and investment.
Somalia has produced and is implementing aPower Master Plan which outlines strategies to increase energy production, increase the supply of renewable energy, and for government to establish regulatory authorities and a legislative framework to improve market efficiency.
Therefore, this study employs MATLAB simulation software and three algorithms—particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm, and simulated annealing—to
