“…Despite these challenges, the government of Liberia (GoL), in collaboration with international partners, has made efforts to alleviate energy poverty and build the economy. In 2009, GoL crafted the National Energy Policy (NEP), a roadmap for economic and social development by delivering modern, dependable, affordable, and environmentally sustainable energy services (Kumar et al, 2023). Before 2009, Liberia ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol in 2002.…”

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 evaluating the suitability of a hybrid RE‐based microgrid (MG) system for rural electrification in India, Sweta et al 17 developed a decision‐making approach. The ideal sizing and evaluation of grid‐tied hybrid renewable energy systems (RESs) for the electrification of rural areas were described by Shubhangi et al 18 The ideal size of isolated rural MGs for sustainable electrification using RE sources was suggested by Kamal et al 19 For the electrification of rural communities, Nishant et al 20 conducted a techno‐socio‐economic study and tiered assessment of hybrid RES.…”

Rural electrification is a crucial component of meeting sustainable development goals. In Pakistan, load shedding and power outages are frequent. According to the current data, Pakistan is experiencing a shortfall of power between 6000 and 6500 MW. Microgrid technology has the potential to provide a solution to this problem in an efficient and low‐cost manner. This paper proposes the development of a hybrid microgrid system (HMGS) for rural communities. For that purpose, a technological analysis of the HMGS system for rural electrification is performed. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind resource‐based renewable energy systems are considered in this work for the electrification of rural areas of Pakistan. A hybrid PV/wind system is designed using MATLAB software. Simulation results show that a 230‐V sinusoidal output voltage has been produced by the proposed model. The advantage of this model is that it minimizes the impact of transients and provides a sinusoidal output waveform.
