A vast majority of the energy access programs currently underway are in developing countries with limited access to the latest information and state-of-the-art technology. This paper serves as a link between scientific advancements and field-proven best-practices for designing microgrids in rural communities.
Hence, the utilisation of micro-grids in rural areas. This paper investigated the recent developments in the utilisation of micro-grids in rural electrification. Challenges relating to financing and regulation are predominantly hindering the development of the projects. Nevertheless, some efforts have been made to design and develop these projects.
Four different microgrid systems are investigated for the feasibility evaluation of cost-effective rural power. A comparative evaluation of models is provided based on environmental and economic factors. The optimum design has an energy cost of 0.313 $/kWh and a net present cost of $ 65,241.32.
The paper highlights four critical aspects of microgrid design: 1) the challenges faced by rural communities and energy service companies, 2) microgrid subsystems and their associated technical developments, 3) system sizing and demand forecasting, and 4) practitioner-focused recommendations and best-practices.
