Title

Proposing a Methodology to Evaluate the Feasibility and Implementation Potential of Wind Energy in Africa Using GIS Data

Abstract
This paper presents an innovative methodology for conducting a detailed analysis of African wind potential with a resolution of 50 by 50 meters bast on 35 area criteria. It offers a comprehensive representation of wind potential in all African countries located near high-voltage lines and with high wind resources. Furthermore, it suggests future investigations to explore the potential for hydrogen production and conduct a more thorough comparison of the countries studied. This methodological approach significantly contributes to advancing knowledge in sustainable energy production and serves as a catalyst for future research.
