Tool-based renewable energy system planning using survey data: A case study in rural Vietnam

Maria C. G. Hart, Sarah Eckhoff, Michael H. Breitner · 2023 · Environment Development and Sustainability

Summary. Researchers developed NESSI4D, a decision support system for planning renewable energy systems in developing countries. The tool integrates economic, environmental, technological, and social factors tailored to local stakeholder needs. Testing in rural Vietnam showed that renewable energy alone cannot provide affordable, low-emission electrification without government financial support. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that detailed, specialized planning tools are essential for successful renewable energy implementation.
