Hybrid power system options for off-grid rural electrification in northwestern region of Nigeria by Boluwaji Moses Olomiyesan, Onyedi David Oyedum

“…This study, therefore, investigates a set of possible off-grid hybrid power systems that can meet the electrical load of a model rural community of 100 households in Kaduna and Katsina States in the northwestern region of Nigeria at the lowest energy cost. Two off-grid hybrid power systems and a stand-alone diesel generator are modeled, simulated, and analyzed for the two locations with different solar and wind energy resources using Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER Pro 3.7.5) software. …”
