Croatia's rural areas - renewable energy based electricity generation for isolated grids

Sonja M. Protic, Robert Pašičko · 2014 · Thermal Science

Summary. Croatia's rural areas suffer from aging electricity infrastructure and poor grid connections. This paper compares decentralized renewable energy systems for isolated grids against extending the public network to remote regions. The analysis shows isolated grids powered by renewables are often more cost-effective and faster to deploy. The authors call for better evaluation methods that account for non-monetary benefits and advocate an interdisciplinary approach to rural electrification.
