Integrated Management Framework for Performance Challenges in Rural Off-Grid Microgrids: Addressing Deterioration in Electrification Systems

Abstract

: Rural off-grid electrification systems have gained increasing attention, particularly in developing countries with vast rural areas. It is known that many established microgrids (MG) in rural areas are being challenged with a complex cost situation and numerous rural interferences, leading to various microgrid performance deteriorations, which are barely unchecked and lead to MG early failure. To address this issue, this study aims to develop a management framework to provide elaborate information and systematic analysis of the potential deterioration of rural off-grid microgrids. This study summarizes, identifies, categorizes
