RURAL ELECTRIFICATION projects in developing countries

OR has traditionally focused on the optimization of commercial companies’ problems in developed countries. However, it can also be used to solve social problems and to promote human development. OR for development deals with classical routing, location, planning and scheduling problems, as well as social constraints and requirements. These OR applications are mathematically as challenging as an...

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...
