ANGOLAN MAP

INTRODUCTION

Angola is a country situeaed in the West coast of Africa with an extension of 1.246,700Km, and has one population estimated in 25 millions of inhabitants.

Angola is limited in Northwest by the Democratic Republic ofCongo (2.712Km), East by Zambia (1.110 Km) , South byNamíbia (1.376Km) and in the West by the Atlantic Ocean.

Angola is a flat country and its bigest altitude is localised in Huambo Province, the Môco Mountain with 2.620 m.

In the desert the climate is dry, tropical moderate with rain in theflat land because of the altitude.

The temperatures are betwenn 17ºC minimum and 30ºC themaximum.

Angola has a enormous water resources and large hydroelectric potential, 47 basins covering 40% of the country with an estimated capacity 18,574 (MW) but only 550.7 MW as a installed capacity.

MAIN RENEWABLES ENERGY SOURCES

Angola has abundant natural resources , Sun, Wind and Biomass, are some of them . In this context , initiatives on solar and wind have been developed.

SOLAR -- Solar radiation 4,5 – 5,3 kwh/m2, - As a consequence the implementation of “Solar Village “ project, is being done.

This project has the objective to participate in the rural electrification program with the installation of isolated villages with solar panels and electrifying social infrastructure, police station, schools, medical centers, administrative buildings and solar street lighting.

Until now we have installed 447, 310 Wp in 8 provinces for 51 locals.

WIND speed --Minimum 0.4 and the maximum reaching up 20m/s-, -MINEA is doing the implementation of one project “WIND FARM” to produce 100MW of energy from wind turbines in Tômbua, NamibeProvince.

BIOMASS – From sugar Cane –” BIOCOM” Project is beingimplemented to produce 280mil tons of sugar per year, 30 mil m3 ofethanol and to produce 217MWh of electricity.

HOW WE GET THE DATA FOR WIND AND SUN

Angola has installed 13 towers for maping in various Angola provinces .In the towers we can get parameters like, solar radiation, wind speed,wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and atmosphericpressure. At that moment we are finalising one cycle of these measures.

We are doing maping studies for wind and solar across all the nationalterritory extension in order to developed the solar and wind Atlas andprojects.

We already have get the solar and wind data during one year but wecontinue for one more because the accuracy data for solar and windshould be taken at list during two years.

Down, we can find an Angola map with some identified areas, the redpoints shows where wind projects can be implemented and the blueones for solar.
