Integration of Advanced Metering Infrastructure for Mini-Grid Solar PV Systems in Off-Grid Rural Communities (SoAMIRural)
Summary. This paper presents SoAMIRural, a system integrating solar mini-grids with advanced metering infrastructure for rural electrification in Ghana. The authors designed a 24 kVA solar system using load estimation methods and deployed smart metering to monitor consumption. Testing achieved 95% accuracy in tracking energy use, enabling better conservation and system sustainability. The framework supports reliable electricity access and progress toward Ghana's sustainable development goals.
