Optimal design and sensitivity analysis of distributed biomass‐based hybrid renewable energy systems for rural electrification: Case study of different photovoltaic/wind/battery‐integrated options in Babadam, northern Cameroon
Summary. Researchers designed and optimized hybrid renewable energy systems combining solar, wind, and battery storage with biomass technologies for a remote community in northern Cameroon. Systems integrating biogas or syngas generators reduced electricity costs by 29-40% compared to solar-wind-battery alone, with the gasifier option achieving the lowest cost at $0.319/kWh. Sensitivity analysis confirms this cost advantage applies across sub-Saharan Africa, making biomass integration effective for rural electrification.
