“…Nowadays, rural home lighting is mostly powered by PV systems known as stand-alone solar systems, as illustrated in Figure 1, which is more relevant for PICs [14][15][16][17]. The most classical configuration layout of a grid-connected PV system is shown in Figure 2.…”

“…The most renowned jargon used in the solar industry are solar radiation and solar irradiance. The total radiant energy emitted by the sun is called solar radiation, whereas the power per unit area received from the sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation measured in space or at the Earth's surface is called solar irradiance [16]. To obtain the optimal amount of energy from the PV system, solar radiation analysis is a very important factor that needs to be considered.…”

“…2019, 2 3 Currently, the commercialised grid-connected system for a household based on the classical configuration stand-alone system is quite expensive as it consists of more components. The components are PV cells, charge controllers, battery packs and converting devices, which make it expensive compared to the grid-connected system, as it comprises the PV cells and a grid-tie converter [1][2][3][4][14][15][16][17][18]. Thus, having a grid-tie solar system for a household is cheaper in terms of capital cost and installation.…”

Traditionally, remote and urban communities worldwide have been supplied electricity almost completely by fossil fuel generators to accommodate for electricity needs. Currently, the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into the current power generation systems can offer attractive economic and environmental merits, including considerable fuel savings and carbon dioxide emission reductions. In relation to sustainability, efficiency and economic feasibility, solar photovoltaic (PV) is one of the most promising sources of RESs which is being touted as a leading solution to long-term electrification and development problems in rural and urban parts of Pacific Island Countries (PICs). In this work, a grid-tie PV system is instigated at a residential scale. The idea of this research is not to claim the power output from the PV system but to show the feasibility of a grid-tie system at a residential scale. This will help the PICs, non-profit organisations and the government better share scarce resources towards achieving their energy goals and be in line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

“…Other studies focus on the special case studies of networks in the world. Apart from the islands [12], many other studies have been conducted [13][14][15][16] showing an intelligent network that uses substantially wind power to optimize smart island networks. For an effective management of the energy system needed in energy systems, it is necessary to offer more modern solutions by using innovations in the sector and to make sufficient investment in technological requirements [17,18].…”

With the increasing energy demand, technology and computer technology, with the development of technology, it has become compulsory to use in electricity networks. Many smart grid projects have been implemented, including the establishment of advanced measuring infrastructure, smart meter installation, electricity generation from renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, use of electric vehicles and smart buildings. Many developed and developing countries have created platforms for developing Smart Grids and have set up a roadmap for smart grids. In particular, the main purpose of the European Union; By 2020, it was possible to integrate renewable energy sources by 20%, increase energy efficiency by 20% and reduce carbon emissions by 20%. The US government finances several smart grid projects in its country with a certain amount of repayment. Japan launched smart city pilot applications by taking smart grid projects one step further. This study has enabled us to explore projects that have taken place and planned around the world. Europe, the US, Japan, China, South Korea, Canada and Australia has become interested in smart grids. In this study, development and project examples of smart grids worldwide have been investigated.
