What is it about?
The research paper presents a technical and economic analysis of solar mini-grids for 3 different remote locations. It employs the worst-case users' demand as the basis for the systems design, and details the capacity, energy yield and losses, hourly battery state of charge over the year, reliability of supply, users' energy demand increase of 25% and the life-cycle economic analyses. The study is useful for planning and developing off-grid PV systems.
