Summary. This paper analyzes an off-grid microgrid system combining biogas from cattle manure, solar, and hydropower to electrify rural areas in Pakistan. The researchers conducted a techno-economic analysis of the proposed system in Mandi Yazman to identify the optimal resource combination that minimizes energy costs and net present costs, leveraging agricultural and livestock resources available in rural farming communities.
