Distributed Energy Storage for Rural Electrification by Microgrid

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to study how to apply distributed storage into a photovoltaic microgrid for rural villages with electrical network powered by renewable sources and small thermal generators. Using distributed storage helps to reduce Joule losses and voltage drops. This allows reducing the cable’s section or the power source’s size. The main work will focus on optimizing the...

Enabling private sector investment in microgrid-based rural electrification in developing countries_ A review

Access to electricity is widely recognized as an important factor for economic and social development. Low rates of access, particularly in remote rural areas in regions such as sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, have led developing nations and international organizations to set ambitious goals to expand the reach of electricity. Decentralized solutions such as microgrids have ...
