Over the last thirty years, renewable energy sources have been attracting great attention due to the cost increase, limited reserves, and environmental impact of fossil fuels. In the main time, technological advancements, cost reduction, and governmental incentives have made some renewable energy sources more competitive in the market. Among them, wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources. This work is applied to investigate whether WADI-SEIDNA region (North Khartoum, Sudan) is suitable to generate electrical power or not, according to a design and modeling of horizontal blade turbine. A detailed mathematical model of a squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG) coupled to wind turbine system using vector control computing technique is also done. The performance of wind energy conversion system (WECS) is studied using simulation developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK.

The journal is currently an open access journal.
The articles receive both rigorous peer-review and expedited online publication.
The journal encourages young researchers to submit their unpublished papers.
The authors retain their article’s copyright.
The authors retain publishing rights without restrictions.
Thus, authors may use their own articles for the following non-commercial purposes without asking our permission (and subject only to acknowledging first publication in Journal of Communications Technology, Electronics and Computer Science and giving a full reference or web link, as appropriate).
Authors cannot submit a manuscript for publication to other journals simultaneously. It is a waste of valuable resources because editors and referees spent a great deal of time processing submitted manuscripts. It is also unethical to republish similar research articles (text/figures/tables) again because journals have limited page space and it most likely violates copyrights which have already been transferred to the first journal. Therefore, all journals require a signed author's copyright transfer agreement stating the originality of the research work submitted through a manuscript. As stated above that authors should submit original, new and unpublished research work to the journal. The ethical issues such as plagiarism, fraudulent and duplicate publication, violation of copyrights, authorship and conflict of interest are serious issues concerning ethical integrity when submitting a manuscript to a journal for publication.
The contents of papers are the sole responsibility of the authors, and publication shall not imply the concurrence of the Editors or Publisher.
