Exploring the best hybrid energy system for the off-grid rural energy scheme in Bangladesh using a comprehensive decision framework
Summary. This study develops a decision framework combining optimization modeling and multi-criteria analysis to select hybrid energy systems for off-grid rural areas in Bangladesh. The research identifies a photovoltaic-diesel-battery system as optimal, delivering energy at 0.32 USD/kWh—cheaper than the national grid and 64% cleaner than diesel-only alternatives. The framework successfully balances technical, economic, environmental, and social factors to guide rural electrification decisions in developing countries.
