Kanlou Zandjina Dadjiogou, Ayité Sénah Akoda Ajavon, Yao Bokovi · 2024 · Cleaner Energy Systems

Summary. A microgrid system combining solar panels, generators, and batteries was designed for a rural telecommunications site in Togo to provide reliable electricity access to both cell phone operators and the local population. Using optimization algorithms, the system achieved 98.95% solar utilization, minimal generator use, and electricity costs of $0.0185 per unit while eliminating service interruptions and reducing emissions.
