A vast majority of the energy access programs currently underway are in developing countries with limited access to the latest information and state-of-the-art technology. This paper serves as a link between scientific advancements and field-proven best-practices for designing microgrids in rural communities.
The paper highlights four critical aspects of microgrid design: 1) the challenges faced by rural communities and energy service companies, 2) microgrid subsystems and their associated technical developments, 3) system sizing and demand forecasting, and 4) practitioner-focused recommendations and best-practices.
The approach provides a logical process for designing an optimal microgrid using load analysis and estimation of available renewable energy resources. The results based on the systematic approach show that adapting the system to the specific energy needs and available resources increases the system's performance.
