Abstract

Electrification of rural households is of key importance for Africa's economic growth, particularly for developing countries such as Botswana. This paper carries out a techno-economic feasibility study of a solar biomass hybrid system with and without energy storage to supply load demand. The case studies were performed using HOMER software, choosing Phakalane, a village of Botswana as a location. Various scenarios were investigated such as; solar standalone system with and without energy storage, hybrid solar-biomass system with and without energy storage as well as its integration to the grid. It is concluded that a hybrid solar-biomass system with energy storage is the most technically and economically feasible system with various optimized components.
博茨瓦纳农村家庭和农场太阳能光伏和生物质发电的技术经济可行性研究
农村家庭电气化对非洲的经济增长至关重要,特别是对博茨瓦纳等发展中国家。本文对有无储能的太阳能生物质混合系统进行了技术经济可行性研究,以满足负荷需求。案例研究使用HOMER软件进行,选择博茨瓦纳的一个村庄Phakalane作为地点。调查了各种情况,例如;有储能和无储能的太阳能独立式系统,有储能和无储能的混合太阳能-生物质系统及其并网。研究结果表明,太阳能-生物质混合储能系统是技术上和经济上最可行的系统。
