Techno-economic analysis of an off-grid micro-hydrokinetic river system for remote rural electrification

Sandile Phillip Koko, K. Kusakana, H.J. Vermaak · 2013 · Interim

Summary. This study evaluates off-grid micro-hydrokinetic systems as a cost-effective electricity solution for remote rural communities near flowing water without grid access. The researchers develop a mathematical model to simulate system performance under various conditions and validate results using a test prototype. The analysis demonstrates the economic and environmental benefits of this emerging technology for rural electrification.
