Techo-Economic Analysis of Off-grid Renewable Energy Systems for Rural Electrification in North-eastern Nigeria

2018 · International Journal of Renewable Energy Research

Summary. This study evaluates five electricity generation systems for a remote village in northeastern Nigeria using techno-economic analysis. Solar radiation and wind speed data show the area has strong renewable potential. A hybrid photovoltaic-diesel system with battery storage proved most cost-effective, reducing expenses by 38% and emissions by 36% compared to diesel-only generation, making it the best option for rural electrification.
