Scenario Analysis of Electricity Demand Growth with Rural Electrification for the Evaluation of the Reliability and Sustainability of an off‐Grid Microgrid System: A Case Study in Lao <scp>PDR</scp> †

Anouluck Norasing, Naoya Abe · 2025 · IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Summary. This study identifies factors driving electricity demand growth in rural Laos to design reliable off-grid microgrids. Researchers surveyed communities and found that age and income level directly influence appliance ownership and energy consumption. The team developed three demand scenarios—low, medium, and high—and determined optimal microgrid component combinations for each. The low-growth scenario provides a practical baseline for rural electrification, helping policymakers prevent system failures after implementation.
