Supplying power to remote villages in Lao PDR. — The role of off-grid
Micro-hydro also presents itself as a reasonable alternative to grid extension, especially for smaller villages of < 60 households. 11 Provided that the right topography and water resource exist for a village scale system, micro-hydro can be cost-competitive against grid extensions and can typically be sized for a relatively high capacity.
Energy management strategy for a hybrid micro-grid system
A hybrid micro-grid architecture represents an innovative approach to energy distribution and management that harmonizes renewable and conventional energy sources, storage technologies, and advanced control systems [].Hybrid micro-grids are at the forefront of the global movement to change the energy landscape because they promote the local energy
