“…Before 2009, Liberia ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol in 2002. GoL developed its National Adaptation Programme of Action which followed its Initial National Communication to the UNFCCC in 2012 (Leduchowicz et al, 2023;Agarwal et al, 2023;Renewables Liberia). , Liberia became a signatory to the Paris Climate Agreement, resulting in the development of the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC), finalized in 2015 (WFP Liberia Country Programme, 2018;UNFCCC, 2015;World Bank, 2019b;Hydropower Projects;SE4ALL. per cent of access to modern electricity in Liberia, 2013;Solar Panel Comparison Table, 2021;The Borgen Project, 2019b;USAID, 2016;Vourvoulias, 2021;Weather Spark, 2021;World Bank, 2020b).…”

Introduction: Liberia has a significant obstacle in terms of restricted power accessibility, as only 26.7% of its populace have access to electrical energy. To tackle this issue, there is a collaborative effort between the government and private sector to undertake energy projects aimed at enhancing the power supply of the grid. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the techno-economic feasibility and analyze the performance of a standalone biomass/solar photovoltaic (PV) hybrid energy system for a rural Liberian community that mostly relies on traditional biomass.Methods: HOMER pro program was used to configure the system, model the community’s load over a year, and generate the resource data of the location.Results and Discussion: Four different configurations were obtained and analyzed both technically and economically to determine the most feasible configuration. This study has shown that a hybrid configuration incorporating Biomass Gasifier, Solar PV, and Battery storage is more feasible with annual output power of 77104 kWh/yr, LCOE ($/kwh) of 0.29 and NPC ($) of 0.3979 million. If implemented with external funding, it will enhance the education, economic and socio-economic status of rural settlements. The results will serve as a valuable resource for informing choices on the implementation of the hybrid energy solution and guaranteeing its sustained efficacy within the community.

Developing countries like India are rapidly transitioning from traditional energy sources to sustainable energy sources, due to the increase in demand and the depletion of fossil fuels. Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems attract many investors, organizations, and institutions for deployment. This article studies and compares the performance evaluations of three 52-kW PV plants installed at an educational institution, SRMIST (SRM Institute of Science and Technology), in Tamil Nadu, India. This site receives an annual average temperature of 28.5°C and an average global horizontal irradiation of 160 kWh/m2/m. The prediction model for the 52-kW power plant is obtained using solar radiation, temperature, and wind speed. Linear regression model-based prediction equations are derived using the Minitab 16.2.1 software, and the results are compared with the real-time AC energy yield acquired from the three 52-kW plants for the year 2020. Furthermore, this 52-kW plant is designed using PVsyst V7.1.8 version software. The simulation results are compared with the energy yield from the plants in 2020 to identify the shortfall in the plant performance. The loss analysis for the plant is performed by obtaining the loss diagram from the PVsyst software. This study also proposes a methodology to study the commissioned PV plant's performance and determine the interaction between variables such as direct and diffused solar radiations, air temperature, and wind speed for forecasting hourly produced power. This article will motivate researchers to analyze installed power plants using modern technical tools.
