Sensitivity analysis for a hybrid off-grid PV/DG/BATT system for the electrification of rural communities

Lata-Carlos Juan, Pazmiño-Zapatier Pedro · 2022 · Diagnostyka

Summary. This paper evaluates a hybrid solar-diesel-battery power system for electrifying rural communities in Ecuador. Using optimization software, researchers designed a system combining 23 kW solar panels, a 27 kW diesel generator, and battery storage, achieving an energy cost of $0.359 per kilowatt-hour. Sensitivity analysis shows the system's viability depends heavily on fuel prices and component costs, with pure solar-battery systems becoming preferable when diesel exceeds $0.83 per liter.
