Off grid rural electrification using integrated renewable energy system
Summary. This paper designs an off-grid renewable energy system for a rural village in India using solar, wind, and biomass resources. The authors assessed electricity demand for 101 households and available renewable resources in Khatisitara village, then used HOMER software to optimize system design. The integrated system achieves an energy cost of $0.084 per kilowatt-hour, demonstrating how locally available renewable resources can electrify remote communities and improve their socioeconomic conditions.
