The main objective of the paper is to minimize the use of conventional generators and optimize the fuel cost. To minimize the use of conventional generators, solar thermal power plant (STPP) is proposed in this paper. An approach for optimal location of STPP is also proposed in this paper. To minimize the fuel cost, firstly unit commitment (UC) is applied in conventional generators. Then genetic algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the fuel cost of committed generators. The suggested method is tested on an IEEE 14 bus test system for 24 hr. schedule with variable load. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is illustrated in three cases. Case 1 is used to identify the STPP location to reduce the fuel cost of conventional generator. In Case 2, unit-commitment is applied to save considerable fuel input and cost. In order to optimize the committed fuel cost, a genetic algorithm is applied in Case 3.

“…• A solution to connect to MOOCs, edX, or Coursera through Internet connectivity Gupta et al (2018) stated that over one billion people are without electricity worldwide, of which over 95% are in developing countries and over 84% reside in rural areas. Solar power is a cost-effective solution to traditional power systems that could help build health systems and education in these deprived locations.…”

“…How much energy savings in energy and cost in this approach vs. traditional fuel sources and equipment/ LMS? Shahsavari et al (2018) and Gupta et al (2018) stated that 1.3 billion people could not access electrical power, and approximately 85%-95% live in developing countries and over 85% in rural areas. Adom et al (2021) described that renewable energy could positively contribute to educational implementation, especially in developing countries, leading to new jobs, health benefits, quality air, and productivity improvements.…”

The dissertation aims to expand access through a low-cost technological innovation system S-MLS to learners in underdeveloped areas with difficulties in accessing education. Technology is advancing rapidly. However, many parts of the world need access to educational advances, which are hindered due to war, political situations, and low literacy and income. A qualitative phenomenological approach explores the lived experience using the solar-powered computing and learning management system (LMS) to support the development of educational access in underrepresented societies, developing countries, and rural areas where access to proper classroom education is non-existent. Proof of concept is used with a group of students in a rural area, a developing country, and within an underrepresented population to check the feasibility of using the equipment in a real-world setting. A technology acceptance model would be used to identify the user's perceived interest and user acceptance. The community of inquiry theory would find the first-hand experience and point of view of the learner. The student group interviews would be through semi-structured interviews. Observations, surveys, video/audio recordings, and artifacts would be gathered for further analysis. The data collected would be analyzed using interpretative phenomenology analysis (IPA), close examination, and management of development themes through thoughts, observations, and reflections on the technological experience and future research and implementations provided. The projected finding would be to check that a solar-powered Raspberry Pi system with MoodleBox operating system that runs Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) LMS would be feasible to provide learning underdeveloped areas to enhance education.
