Non-conventional Energy Sources for Rural Electrification—a Review
Abstract: AbstractThe main objective of rural electrification is to provide electric power supply to the rural areas and remote places. Rural electrification will bring about rural development. The schools will get electricity which will thereby improve the standard of those areas. The national grid is not enough to meet out the power supply needs of those remote areas. The city people are not affected by the power supply crisis, it is …

Energy Management for Rural Electrification using Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable
Abstract: India ranks fourth in terms of purchasing power and is eleventh largest economy of the world. Solar Energy, Animal wastes, and Crop residues are some of the major renewable sources available in rural areas of India that can be harnessed in an efficient way to meet the energy demand. After assessing the Existing Village (Nangal), it was found that Hybrid Renewable Energy System is an optimum solution for complete electrification …

Modelling, Simulation & Optimization of Renewable Energy-Based Hybrid Microgrid for Electrification of Rural Areas
Abstract: Rural electrification in India faces persistent challenges due to unreliable grid connectivity, elevated transmission and distribution costs, and the geographical isolation of remote communities. Insufficient access to reliable electricity constrains economic development, educational opportunities, healthcare delivery, and overall quality of life in these areas. This study details the design and simulation of an off-grid, renewable-based hybrid micro grid for two rural villages: Khirgitola in Chhattisgarh, which has an electrification rate …

Modelling of Peer to Peer Sharing of Power within Solar Based DC Microgrids
Abstract: Solar based DC microgrids and home-based systems have been a reliable option to solve rural electrification problems in many parts of the world. However, there is a pertaining problem of mismatch between local demand and on-site generation in such microgrids. Proposed work attempts to address this problem by developing an optimal peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing among the individual households in a DC microgrid. A nonlinear optimization problem is formulated that …

Design of Microsmart Grid Fuzzy Controlled Model for Sustainable Power Supply in Rural India
Abstract: India is facing acute shortage of electricity especially in rural sectors due to shrinking of conventional grid supply. The expansion of grid network has become almost standstill due to depletion of raw material (i.e., fuel, coal, etc.) day by day. As a result, the sustainability of utility (grid) power supply to rural houses has become poor. In this paper, a fuzzy control-based microsmart grid model has been proposed and developed …

Capacity Estimation of Pump Storage System for Microgrid with Resourceful Use of RES in Deregulated Power Sector
Abstract: The present era dominates with green energy, such as the wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, ocean, bio, etc., since these sources plentifully available, pollution free, zero noise. Power shortages in rural, as well as remote areas, encourage the development of green energy sources. To meet the demand by dissimilar configurations such as standalone or grid interconnected microgrid. Standalone green energy microgrid provides the most appropriate solution for electrification of rural and …

Development and Performance Assessment of a Prototype Zeer-Pot Refrigerator
Abstract: AbstractThe energy deficient rural areas in several parts of the world are not yet fully electrified are devoid of facilities like refrigeration and thereby limiting the applicability of refrigeration and allied processes. Development of a refrigerator or refrigeration method that needs little to no electricity has been an interesting topic of concern for researchers all over the world and the various investigations among them has reported the effect of evaporative …
