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:

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

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%).

We show that our negotiation protocol is tractable, concurrent, scalable and leads to Pareto-optimal outcomes in a decentralised manner.

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.

Abstract:

Universal access to electricity is beneficial for the socio-economic development of a country and the development of smart communities. Unfortunately, the electrification of remote off-grid areas, especially in developing countries, is rather slow due to geographic and economic barriers. In the Philippines, specifically, many electrified off-grid areas are underserved, with access to electricity being limited to only a few hours a day. This is mainly due to the high dependence on diesel power plants (DPPs) for electrifying these areas. To address these problems, hybrid renewable energy systems

Abstract:

Deep geothermal energy sources harvested by circulating fluids in engineered geothermal energy systems can be a solution for diesel-based northern Canadian communities. However, poor knowledge of relevant geology and thermo-hydro-mechanical data introduces significant uncertainty in numerical simulations. Here, a first-order assessment was undertaken following a “what-if” approach to help design an engineered geothermal energy system for each of the uncertain scenarios. Each possibility meets the thermal energy needs of the community, keeping the water losses, the reservoir flow impedance and

The paper contributes a comparative quantitative assessment of solar and wind power potential in the Irkutsk region. The research findings on solar and wind power potential are presented cartographically. The area covered by the Baikal Natural Territory proves the most favorable one for the deployment of renewable power. We identify the locations where it is feasible to use solar power plants to serve remote communities that are off the power grid of the Irkutsk region. Our study relies on an original technique for making fast estimates of the feasible capacity of solar power plants. The input

Abstract:

This paper evaluates the feasibility of using a hybrid system consisting of wind and tidal turbines connected to a microgrid for power supply to coastal communities that are isolated from a main supply grid. The case study is Stewart Island, where the cost of electricity, provided by a central diesel power station, is higher than the grid network in New Zealand. Local residents believe that reducing the consumption of diesel and having a renewable source of electricity generation are two of the island’s highest priorities.

The Canadian off-grid communities heavily rely on fossil fuels. This unsustainable energetic framework needs to change, and deep geothermal energy can play an important role. However, limited data availability is one of the challenges to face when evaluating such resources in remote areas. Thus, a first-order assessment of the geothermal energy source is, therefore, needed to trigger interest for further development in northern communities. This is the scope of the present work.

Solar-driven interfacial water evaporation (SWE) is considered as a promising sustainable solution for clean water production especially for remote and off-grid communities. Various approaches have been developed in the last decade to improve the evaporation and thermal efficiency of the system, and to make it more robust for long-term operation. In recent years, 3D printing has emerged as an attractive method to fabricate simple and complex absorber geometries for SWE.
