Abstract:

This review article delves into the advancements in the realm of nanogrids and their potential in addressing energy challenges, particularly in regions with limited access to centralized power grids. The paper reviews the work in the areas of nanogrids as solutions for regions like sub-Saharan Africa, where a significant population lacks access to main grid electricity. The integration of multiple nanogrids within a community, coupled with an investor energy bank, is explored as a means to alleviate the economic burden of energy storage and to harness the full potential of solar energy.

Abstract:

Remote off-grid communities are often situated far from centralized power infrastructures and, as a result, do not have access to grid electricity. Solar home system, an inexpensive renewable technology for self-generating electricity, is now available to households in Lagos State including those in remote communities. However, adapting global solar home system deployment strategy within remote communities in the state is hindered by limited knowledge of the local social dynamics involved in the spread of the technology.

Abstract:

The study summarizes key data on public power supply to isolated off-grid communities in the Irkutsk region. We compile a list of candidate settlements that qualify for grid extension and indicate the substations that in all likelihood will be used to feed them. This includes a multi-factor analysis of economic performance of power supply to such settlements. We report the findings of a technical and financial feasibility study of connecting remote communities to the power grid. The feasibility is assessed based on consolidated costs of the construction of power grid facilities. The study iden

Abstract:

Recent reports from international energy agencies indicate that more than a billion of the population in the world is deprived of basic electricity provisions, confined mainly to the remote communities of developing nations. Microgrids are promoted as a potential technology for electricity provisions to off-grid rural communities, but have failed to reach their value proposition in the context of rural electrification access. In view of the rampant rural electrification issues, the objective of this paper is to furnish an understanding of, and advance the knowledge into, methods to facilitate

Abstract:

Small modular reactors (SMRs), with <300 MWe power capacity (∼1000 MWth), are being developed to improve the safety and economics of nuclear power and to expand the application of nuclear power beyond large-scale electricity grids. A key factor to improving the economics of SMRs is the ability to capitalize on the economies associated with replication. But to capitalize on these economies, there must be a market with demands for a sufficient number of the produced SMRs. The purpose of this analysis is to estimate the market for SMRs for off-grid applications in Canada. The potential market

Abstract:

The objective of this review is to present the characteristics and trends of hybrid renewable energy systems for remote off-grid communities. Traditionally, remote off-grid communities have used diesel oil-based systems to generate electricity. Increased technological options and lower costs have resulted in the adoption of hybrid renewable energy-based systems. The evaluated 168 studies from the period 2002–2019 considered energy developments in Asia, northern Europe, Africa and South America, with the great majority in the northern hemisphere (n = 152, 90.5%).

Abstract:

This paper analyses the implementation of renewable off-grid technologies in rural areas, especially where an extension to the national electricity grid was not considered economically feasible. Implementation of remote, stand-alone, electricity technologies as alternatives to a grid connection to provide sustainable electricity access have often failed with many planned projects not realised or abandoned. Our initial assumption was that stand-alone electricity project exhibiting higher scores on sustainability indicators would benefit communities more and make their endurance more likely. How

Abstract:

We present a novel negotiation protocol to facilitate energy exchange between off-grid homes that are equipped with renewable energy generation and electricity storage. Our protocol imposes restrictions over negotiation such that it reduces the complex interdependent multi-issue negotiation to one where agents have a strategy profile in subgame perfect Nash equilibrium. We show that our negotiation protocol is tractable, concurrent, scalable and leads to Pareto-optimal outcomes in a decentralised manner. We empirically evaluate our protocol and show that, in this instance, a society of agents

Abstract:

Microbial communities in remote locations remain under-studied. This is particularly true on glaciers and icecaps, which cover approximately 11% of the Earth’s surface. The principal reason for this is the inaccessibility of most of these areas due to their extreme isolation and challenging environmental conditions. While remote research stations have significantly lowered the barrier to studying the microbial communities on icecaps, their use has led to a bias for data collection in the near vicinity of these institutions. Here, miniaturisation of a DNA sequencing lab suitable for off-grid me

Abstract:

Although it is now well known that access to electrification is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring sustainable development, rural households in sub-Saharan Africa in particular remain unelectrified. It is often not economically viable to connect these remote communities to the main grid. Therefore, mini-grid systems represent a promising alternative to ensure electrification even at long distances from the grid, backed by the fact that these systems are becoming cheaper with the advancement of integrated technologies. However, such systems are fraught with risk if various potential pitfalls a

Abstract Remote or off-grid communities in Canada and across the world heavily rely on diesel-fueled generators to meet their electrical power and heating needs. Reducing diesel consumption of these generators with locally produced sustainable fuels such as syngas has the double benefit of reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the cost of transporting diesel to remote locations. In remote/off-grid areas, syngas can be produced from local biomass or waste through gasification or pyrolysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the combustion and emission performance of a syngas-die

Abstract Diesel fueled generators are widely used for power generation in remote and/or off-grid communities. In such communities, local organic waste streams can be used to generate biogas which can be used to replace diesel used by diesel generators to lower fuel cost and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Diesel powered generators can be easily retrofitted with a biogas dosing line in the engine intake to introduce biogas, but appropriate optimization would be of great help to further improve generator performance and reduce GHG emissions.
