Economic feasibility analysis and optimization of hybrid renewable energy systems for rural electrification in Peru

Fabio Rinaldi, Farzad Moghaddampoor, Behzad Najafi, R. Marchesi · 2020 · Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy

Summary. Hybrid solar-wind-diesel systems provide the most economically viable option for electrifying remote Peruvian villages without grid access. Analysis of three communities in different climatic zones shows hybrid configurations achieve the lowest net present costs while generating 94-97% renewable energy and reducing CO2 emissions to 2.7-9.9% of diesel-only systems. These optimal designs serve as templates for similar rural electrification projects.
