Rural electrification with hybrid renewable energy-based off-grid technology: a case study of Adem Tuleman, Ethiopia
Summary. A hybrid renewable energy system combining wind, solar, and diesel power can effectively electrify the remote rural village of Adem Tuleman in Ethiopia. The system meets the village's 204 kWh/day energy demand at a cost of $0.195/kWh, with initial capital costs of $24,817 and total net present value of $189,233. This approach provides a financially viable alternative to biomass burning, reducing health risks and environmental damage while delivering reliable electricity to off-grid communities.
