Wajahat Khalid, Qasim Awais, Mohsin Jamil, Ashraf Ali Khan · 2024 · Electronics

Summary. This paper designs and models a hybrid solar-generator power system for rural Pakistan, combining renewable energy with traditional generators to reduce emissions and improve electricity access. Using simulation software, the researchers sized the system for a 137.48 kWh daily load and validated its performance under varying solar conditions. The system achieves 100% renewable energy generation at USD 0.158 per kilowatt-hour, demonstrating economic and environmental feasibility for scaling rural electrification.
