Highly renewable energy systems in Africa: Rationale, research,
Globally, Africa has received the least research attention on 100% RE systems, with only 54 articles. Most of these studies focus on the power sector, with less attention on other energy sectors. No single energy system model can coherently model the on-grid and off-grid interaction. Africa''s rapid decarbonization will avert carbon lock-in and stranded asset risks.
