“…In the case of large rural areas in dispersed countries, renewable sources become and can be utilized in a distributed generation approach to generate electricity [11]. Distributed Generation (DG) refers to the concept of generating electricity near the customer, thus DG technology is considered as a promising alternative for electrifying geographically disadvantaged rural and remote areas [12][13][14]. In fact, the rapid deployment of renewable energy technologies over the past years and the wider projection for the near future, raise challenges and opportunities for their integration that should be taken into consideration in the strategies for energy planning and optimization methods of the electricity supply of isolated areas.…”

In light of this, educators must effectively administer high quality training and education to architects, engineers, and building professionals to improve competencies in these areas [6,7].…”
