Optimal planning of renewable integrated rural microgrid for sustainable energy supply

Md Mustafa Kama, Imtiaz Ashraf, Eugene Fernandez · 2022 · Energy Storage

Summary. This paper develops an optimization method for designing standalone microgrids in rural areas that combine renewable energy sources with battery storage. Using a case study in rural India, the researchers apply grey wolf optimization to minimize energy costs and emissions while meeting local electricity demand. The optimal system configuration achieved a levelized cost of 0.203 $/kWh with 92% renewable energy, demonstrating technical and economic feasibility for remote rural electrification.
