Techno-economic analysis and design of hybrid renewable energy microgrid for rural electrification

Negasa Muleta, Altaf Q. H. Badar · 2021 · Energy Harvesting and Systems

Summary. This paper designs a hybrid renewable energy microgrid for rural electrification in Ethiopia using techno-economic analysis. Researchers modeled a standalone microgrid for the village of Jarre in the Somali region, comparing it economically against grid extension. Using particle swarm optimization, they identified the most cost-effective and reliable configuration of renewable energy sources to meet local electricity demand while ensuring system reliability.
