Utilisation of renewable energy sources in deep rural areas
Summary. The paper evaluates renewable energy sources for rural electrification by developing a computer program to match energy source characteristics with rural load profiles cost-effectively. The analysis compares unitary and hybrid systems, finding that hydroelectric sources prove most cost-effective for the studied loads, while solar and wind systems require prohibitively high capital investments.
