Consideration for a sustainable hybrid electric power mini-grid : case study for Wanale village in Uganda

In this study, a hybrid mini-grid system is designed to supply electricity to a rural village in Uganda. Renewable energy resources are identified, an estimation of the projected village short-term electricity demand is simulated, and using HOMER software, a hybrid mini-grid system is designed, comp...
