Recently, photovoltaic (PV) technology has significantly contributed to the utilization of renewable energy sources. It plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges posed by climate change, enhancing energy affordability, ensuring power supply stability, and facilitating energy accessibility. PV technology represents a significant opportunity for addressing the issue of energy access among distant areas that now lack reliable access to electricity. Using a traditional grid is limited due to cost and feasibility constraints. These difficulties are to be addressed in the appropriate timeframe to improve the dependability of the supply. The expansion of the grid into these regions diminishes the overall resilience of the grid system. This leads to a situation where PV systems are integrated into an AC grid with low power quality (PQ) or limited capacity. Nevertheless, the integration of solar power into an AC grid with low capacity. The presence of PQ problems imposes limitations on the levels of penetration. Other factors impose limitations and penetration levels encompass several factors such as non-linear loads, dynamic loads, fluctuating irradiations, and partial shade, among others. This article aims to address the PQ difficulties that arise from a weak electrical infrastructure. The purpose of this compilation is to provide engineers with a readily accessible resource, offering them a distinct advantage in their professional endeavors and scholars engaged in this field of investigation. In this context, the photovoltaic (PV) array is methodically organized into 86 parallel strings. The aforementioned strings are meticulously constructed, consisting of a sequence of seven SunPower SPR-415E solar modules that are intentionally interconnected.

“…Liberia is one of the world's Least Developed Nations (LDNs), with about 64% of the population living below the poverty line and about 1.3 million living in extreme poverty (RREA, 2018;Fortune Business Insights, 2020-2027MCC, 2018;Mohantya et al, 2018;Gildas Fosso et.al.,2023;Clint Ameri et.al.,2023;Mahdavi et al, 2023;Mulenga et al, 2023). Additionally, 3.7 million Liberians lack access to clean water; 80% are foodinsecure; the child labor rate is 21%, compounded by many slum communities (Milbrant Anelia, 2009;Ministry of Lands and Mines and Energy MLME, 2009;Pachauri and Shonali, 2017b;Nations Encyclopedia, 2021;Samikannu et al, 2022;Ahmed et al, 2023;Mishra et al, 2023).…”

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.

“…For example, during periods when there is high sunlight but low winds (or vice versa), surplus electricity from one source can compensate for deficits from another through intelligent grid management or energy storage solutions such as batteries (Ju et al, 2017). Additionally, the implementation of hybrid renewable energy systems contributes to grid stability and resilience, providing added reliability in power supply (Mishra et al, 2023; Saidi, 2020).…”

Renewable energy systems have emerged as a viable option to mitigate the environmental impacts of traditional fossil fuels. However, the intermittent nature of these renewables, such as solar and wind, makes it challenging to ensure a stable energy supply using only one type. Therefore, combining more than a single technology offers significant advantages in addressing the limitations associated with each individual system. Nevertheless, developing these systems requires substantial financial investments, making it crucial to identify the most suitable locations prior to installing them. In this article, the prime objective was to propose a preliminary evaluation of land suitability for constructing solar and wind hybrid facilities (PV–wind, PV–CSP, and CS–wind) in Tataouine, southern Tunisia. To this end, a GIS-based MCDA methodology was developed based on an extensive literature review and experts’ feedback while considering climate, topography, accessibility, and environmental factors. The results obtained revealed that the optimal area for a CSP–PV hybrid system is about 793 km2, indicating that this combination has the highest potential in terms of available resources and compatibility. On the other hand, well-suited locations for hosting CSP–wind and PV–wind systems covered areas of 412 and 333 km2, respectively. Such specific locations are capable of generating an annual technical potential of 316.169, 91.252, and 62.970 TWh for CSP–PV, CSP–wind, and PV–wind, respectively. Interestingly, comprising almost all of the most appropriate sites, Remada and Dhiba stand as the ideal locations for accommodating such hybrid systems. Considering this outcome, Tataouine can position itself as a model for renewable energy adoption in Tunisia. Therefore, it is imperative for policymakers, investors, and local communities to collaborate and embrace these hybrid systems to capitalize on this immense potential and pave the way for a greener and more prosperous future.
