Assessment and selection of a micro-hybrid renewable energy system for sustainable energy generation in rural areas of Zambia

Likonge Makai, Olawale Popoola · 2024 · Renewable Energy

Summary. Researchers evaluated micro-hybrid renewable energy systems for rural Zambia using multi-criterion decision analysis across 14 scenarios. A biogas-solar photovoltaic system with battery storage emerged as optimal, outperforming diesel-solar alternatives. The system leverages local biomass and solar resources to replace wood and fossil fuel dependence, meeting rural energy needs while supporting sustainable development in resource-limited regions.
