Optimal modeling of an integrated renewable energy system with battery storage for off grid electrification of remote rural area

S. Rajanna, R.P. Saini · 2016

Summary. This study designs an optimal renewable energy system for remote rural electrification in India's Karnataka state. Researchers modeled an integrated system combining micro hydro, solar, wind, biomass, and biogas with battery storage. Using genetic algorithms to minimize costs while maintaining reliability, they tested different technology combinations and resource scenarios. A hybrid system combining micro hydro, biomass, biogas, and wind turbines with battery storage proved most cost-effective for the target area.
