The case study approach was chosen over a broader survey approach because general recommendations and information regarding microgrids were plentiful in existing microgrid literature, but detailed information and guidance from practitioners were lacking.
The study presents 22 case studies on microgrids for rural electrification as an analysis tool. Rather than focusing on controlled “variables”, the case study approach does not have controlled variables and instead has layers of complexity.
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.
Balancing the costs of development for micro-grid in rural areas will have to take into consideration the load that will be connected. Currently, the market is flooded with AC-based appliances and therefore, makes it necessary that AC micro-grid be preferred.
Value proposition Rural electrification programmes are primarily concerned with bringing power to communities previously without access, or improving their level of electrification, as
