    The Establishment of Electricity Market Strucure in East African Countries
    (University of Khartuom, 2016) Hamouda, El Amin ; Ramadan, Kamal ; A Khadam, Ashraf M.
    Many countries in the African regions do not have access to electricity which is vital for the success of any nation to alleviate poverty and to increase the development rate. Only 32% is the national electrification rate in Sub-Saharan African countries [1] which means that more than 620 million of population does not enjoy the provision of electricity. The objective of this paper is to point out the road map and plan towards the Electricity integration among East African countries through establishing energy policies and reforming Electricity Sector. This paper presents a proposal for electricity market. This paper also shed light of Sudan practice in the reform of Electricity Sector as one of the leading countries in East Africa in hydropower generation. The research finding shows that despite the large potential of hydropower generation which can be shared among East African countries, many steps and policies shall be formed and implemented to share benefits all over the region.

    The Impact of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on Sudan Electric Network Supply & Stability
    (University of Khartuom, 2016) Hamouda, El Amin ; Ramadan, Kamal ; A Khadam, Ashraf M.
    The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is the Africa’s biggest hydropower dam is being built on the Blue Nile in Ethiopia, near the Sudan boarder has a lasting effects on both Sudan and Egypt, the two riparian countries downstream. This study concentrates on the electrical impact of GERD on Sudan electric network when interconnected. This study based on official data along with data of similar hydropower projects since not all data related to hydropower plant were available. The objective of this study is to show the impacts of GERD interconnection with Sudan grid and how the system maintains stability and security. This study use the electric software NEPLAN V5.5.0, supported with official data of Sudan national grid and forecast plans. This hydropower energy will reduce the emission of harmful gases and will help in climate change resilience.
