“…Rapid economic development means that natural resources are consumed, thereby generating high environmental impacts with a carbon footprint that could be mitigated by implementing more renewable energy sources (Cherni et al, 2007;Griggs and Noguer, 2002;Wolfram et al, 2016). However, the evaluation of renewable technologies in rural communities, designing economic systems adjusted to the rural zones and the quantification of their advantages are still needed (Banerjee et al, 2017;Jadhav et al, 2017;Santoyo-Castelazo and Azapagic, 2014), especially for noninterconnected zones that require a more accelerated breakthrough to be powered by sustainable energy sources (Alfaro et al, 2017). Some studies have worked on the optimal power flow management of interconnected networks (La Scala et al, 2014).…”
