Techno-Economic Feasibility Analysis of Off-Grid Electrification for Remote Areas: A Review

Abstract

Day by day Off-grid generation system has become a more trustworthy source of energy. It matches the demand for electricity in rural areas. It can be made the more reliable source of energy by using a hybrid renewable energy system as a combination of PV, wind and biomass depending upon the accessibility of sources. This paper presented the feasibility of renewable energy sources in a remote location and also discussed the recent technologies available for designing the hybrid system. It also includes the economics of the designed system in terms of net present cost and cost of energy.
