A Review of Hybrid Off-Grid Power Systems for Electrification in Oil-Producing Rural Areas: A Case Study Focus on Uzere, Nigeria
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 11
Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive review of hybrid off-grid power systems, focusing on their application in rural oil-producing communities in Nigeria. The study analyzes existing literature on the integration of gas generators, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and energy storage technologies for rural electrification. By examining the specific case of Uzere, an oil-producing community in Delta State, Nigeria, this review highlights the technical and economic challenges involved in hybrid system deployment. It also explores recent advancements in energy management and optimization tools, such as HOMER Pro, to simulate hybrid solutions tailored to rural needs. This review offers insights into sustainable and cost-effective solutions for rural electrification in similar regions.
