Optimal Decision-Making on Hybrid Off-Grid Energy Systems for Rural and Remote Areas Electrification in the Northern Cameroon
Summary. Researchers compared ten hybrid renewable energy systems for rural electrification in northern Cameroon using optimization software. A solar-diesel-battery system proved most cost-effective at $0.36–0.39 per kilowatt-hour, while pure solar-battery systems achieved zero emissions with 100% renewable penetration. The solar-diesel option balanced economics and environment with 95–96% renewable energy. System attractiveness improved with longer project lifespans, lower fuel prices, and reduced discount rates.
