Optimal Design and Operation of an Off-Grid Hybrid Renewable Energy System in Nigeria’s Rural Residential Area, Using Fuzzy Logic and Optimization Techniques

Taofeek Afolabi, Hooman Farzaneh · 2023 · Sustainability

Summary. This study designs and operates an off-grid hybrid renewable energy system for a rural Nigerian community using particle swarm optimization to minimize electricity costs and fuzzy logic to manage power distribution. The optimized system achieves a levelized cost of 0.48 USD/kWh with full battery storage and 1.17 USD/kWh with half storage. The results provide practical guidance for feasibility assessments of minigrids in rural areas.
