Renewable energy based off-grid rural electrification in Uttarakhand state of India: Technology options, modelling method, barriers and recommendations

Selecting Tools for Renewable Energy Analysis in Developing Countries: An Expanded Review

“…LP is a classic optimization technique commonly used for energy modeling in developing countries due to its simplicity. Some of its applications in developing countries are for analyzing renewable energy systems in rural areas (Ramakumar et al, 1986;Chauhan and Saini, 2015;Bhandari et al, 2016) and in the interconnected grid (Dudhani et al, 2006); and for optimizing biodiesel production (Leduc et al, 2009). Afful-Dadzie et al (2017) employ MILP to optimize power plant capacity expansion in Ghana by considering budget limitation, which is a common problem in developing countries.…”

Fuzzy-predictive direct power control implementation of a grid connected photovoltaic system, associated with an active power filter

“…Energy is becoming a key factor in the economic and social development of our society [1]. In recent decades, our planet has experienced an increase in gas emission rates, that was the result of the considerable advancement of technology and the industry [2].…”

Meeting Future Energy Needs in the Hindu Kush Himalaya

“…Proietti et al (2015) successfully tested the possibility of electricity generation from wind in high-altitude remote regions of Nepal. Chauhan and Saini (2015) found a potential for integrating various sourcessuch as hydropower, biogas, solar, and wind-into off-grid energy systems in the mountainous regions of India. In addition to electricity generation, solar energy can potentially be used for cooking and heating (Badran et al 2010).…”
