Summary. This paper designs an off-grid hybrid solar-wind energy system for rural Tanzania, where electrification rates are extremely low. The system includes a novel closed-loop cooled solar design that increases power output by 10.23% compared to conventional panels. Using optimization software and local resource data, the authors demonstrate a cost-effective configuration with energy costs of $0.26/kWh, suitable for remote areas with similar climates.
