Abstract
Over the past 40 years, the use of wind energy has increased in the world. At the same period, wind turbine installation has become an important research topic. Burundi is one of the east African community countries where installation of wind turbines is not well developed. Recently, a research on planning and installation of wind farms has shown that the locality around the capital of Burundi, Bujumbura is suitable for wind turbines installation because of the high relief of this locality and the presence of the Lake Tanganyika. However, this study did not consider some key characteristics of an appropriate wind power site like geographical accessibility. To overcome this weakness , in this paper, geographic accessibility analysisis of this windy site is done using AccessMod framework in order to compute the spatial distribution of travel time to or from the nearest possible wind turbine. Maximum of travel time of 15, 30, and 45 minutes are used to determine accessibility coverages. A comparison of results obtained using geospatial data available in National Geomatics Center of Burundi and geospatial data from
期刊介绍:
The purpose of this journal is to provide a medium of exchange for scientists engaged in applied sciences (physics, mathematical physics, natural, and technological sciences) where there exists a non-trivial interplay between mathematics, mathematical modelling of real systems and mathematical and computer methods oriented towards the qualitative and quantitative analysis of real physical systems.
The principal areas of interest of this journal are the following:
1.Mathematical modelling of systems in applied sciences;
2.Mathematical methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of models of mathematical physics and technological sciences;
3.Numerical and computer treatment of mathematical models or real systems.
Special attention will be paid to the analysis of nonlinearities and stochastic aspects.
Within the above limitation, scientists in all fields which employ mathematics are encouraged to submit research and review papers to the journal. Both theoretical and applied papers will be considered for publication. High quality, novelty of the content and potential for the applications to modern problems in applied sciences and technology will be the guidelines for the selection of papers to be published in the journal. This journal publishes only articles with original and innovative contents.
Book reviews, announcements and tutorial articles will be featured occasionally.
