Neoenergia lleva energía solar a comunidad aislada de Bahía
Con la llegada de la electricidad de una fuente limpia y renovable, los residentes de esta localidad, aproximadamente a 720 kilómetros de la capital Salvador, comenzaron a tener acceso a
To ensure that microgrids in rural areas are sustainable, it is imperative that financing models are structured to suit the peculiarity of the community. Literature shows that the generation of the third income stream may be an attractive solution for projects in rural communities.
The findings indicate that solar microgrids can be a viable and impactful solution for rural electrification, with significant long-term benefits for both economic development and social well-being. Content may be subject to copyright.
Nevertheless, several interventions have been proposed to alleviate the energy poverty that has been affecting rural communities. Mini-grids and microgrids have been showing promise as they do not need any grid extensions and they offer an opportunity for the distributed generations (Kamal et al., 2022).
Currently, the market is flooded with AC-based appliances and therefore, makes it necessary that AC micro-grid be preferred. It has been shown in Statistics South Africa (2013) that most appliances that are found in rural communities use AC. As the literature has shown, this will make the development and construction of the micro-grid to be costly.
