Design and Modeling of a Standalone DC-Microgrid for Off-Grid Schools in Rural Areas of Developing Countries
Summary. This paper designs a DC microgrid system to provide electricity to off-grid rural schools in Ethiopia, where 76% of primary schools lack power. The researchers modeled the system using different appliance efficiency scenarios and found that DC microgrids effectively meet school electricity demands. High-efficiency appliances reduce system costs by 51%, making this solution applicable across sub-Saharan Africa to improve educational access and quality.
