OVERVIEW
Hybrid power systems for rural communities, islands, campuses, and remote industrial facilities.
Mini-grid decisions
- Which loads must be served continuously, and which can be flexible?
- What mix of solar, storage, diesel, or grid support delivers reliable power?
- How should the system expand as demand and Productive Use of Energy grow?
Islanded system outputs
- Load segmentation and reliability target
- Hybrid/mini-grid sizing scenarios
- Dispatch, fuel-saving, and emissions assumptions
- O&M, expansion, and Productive Use of Energy pathway
Load inputs
- Hourly/monthly load and critical-load list
- Existing diesel/grid supply and outage history
- Solar/wind resource and fuel cost assumptions
- Community, institutional, or enterprise demand plans
