Multi-criteria planning of microgrids for rural electrification

Localized Aggregation of Diverse Energy Sources for Rural Electrification using Microgrids

Extension of electrical service to large rural populations in developing nations is among a key enabling requirement to realize human development goals set forth by international agencies. This paper presents the case for distributed generation in the form of microgrids, which should be the preferred path towards rural electrification in developing communities and a vital complement to expensiv...

Micro-Hydrokinetic for Remote Rural Electrification

Abstract—Standalone micro-hydrokinetic river (MHR) system is one of the promising technologies to be used for remote rural electrification. It simply requires the flow of water instead of elevation or head, leading to expensive civil works. This paper demonstrates an economic benefit offered by a standalone MHR system when compared to the commonly used standalone systems such as solar, wind and...

Dual Stator Induction Generator For Rural Electrification

The paper presents an electromechanical auto synchronized wind energy conversion system (WECS) for larger penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) in the rural electrification systems. The architecture of the WECS uses two stator windings at power frequency which provides harvesting of power to flow from WECS to load and to grid side when the generated power is in access. Asymmetrical six ...
