Summary. This paper designs a hybrid renewable energy microgrid for rural electrification in India's drought-prone Ramanathapuram district. The system combines solar photovoltaic and wind generation with electric vehicle battery storage to smooth power intermittency. Using real field data, the authors model a coordinated control system that manages battery state-of-charge to provide reliable, self-sustained power to dry land communities facing energy shortages.
