Abstract:
|
Off-grid rural electrification project configurations which consider hybrid generation systems based on
multiple renewable sources and the implementation of micro-grids are the most promising design
solutions. The efficient design of those systems is a complex task that is facing several technical issues
such as limited time and resources available for the purpose, especially in developing countries. This
study proposes indicators for supporting and improving the design of community off-grid electrification
projects considering hybrid generation and micro-grids. A (Grid Generation Score) GGS is defined in
order to identify most promising locations for being the generation point of a micro-grid. The (No-
Generation Score) NGS and the (Independent Generation Score) IGS evaluate respectively if a point
should be reliably connected to a micro-grid or should better be an independent generation point. All
indicators could be easily and quickly calculated at a very first stage of the plan of a community project
requiring as input data only demand and resource distributions in the studied area. It is shown that the
utilization of proposed indictors can enhance the design of stand-alone community electrification
projects based on renewable energies. |
