This paper present the techno-economic impact of electrification of small communities by using micro-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems, and also reduction in CO2 emission in comparison to using diesel
This paper presents a programme of rural electrification with PV hybrid micro-grids for remote villages in Palestine, dealing with all the issues as techno-economical, the creation of the legal framework and
The unavailability as well as the lack of sufficient electricity is still one of the main issues hindering socio-economic development in Palestine, especially in its rural areas.
Palestine has a large number of remote small communities with no electricity services and the probability of connecting them with local grid in the near future is very poor, because of political and
The implementation of two micro-grid PV-systems for electrification of two communities in Palestine will cover the electricity needs of households and street lighting, and can replace candles, kerosene and
Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to illustrate the real feasibility of using micro-grid solar PV systems instead of diesel generators in different areas to promote rural development and
This paper will illustrate the techno-economic impact of electrification small communities using micro-grid photovoltaic systems, and also the CO2 emission that will be reduced in comparison to using diesel
Beside economic and social benefits, micro-grid PV systems also have positive impacts on people''s health and on the environment due to the reduction of smoke and toxic waste. The study evaluates
Using the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) simulation tool, various grid-connected scenarios were assessed to minimize the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE),
