A Review on Integrated Renewable Energy Systems for Off-Grid Rural Applications
摘要
The extension of electric grid to the unelectrified hilly and remote areas is difficult and costly due to low load density and uneven terrain. Therefore, integrated renewable energy systems are emerging as an economically viable solution for electrification of such hilly and remote areas. This study presents a comprehensive study on different potential options for off-grid applications. Further, it presents a detailed analysis on the implementation of integrated renewable energy systems for off-grid applications. The barriers and challenges associated with implementation of integrated renewable energy systems are addressed in this paper.
