PV systems facilitate remote area electricity supply with significantly less environmental impact compared to diesel-based systems. However, procurement and installation of PV systems have a higher capital cost.
Extension of the electricity grid is not a feasible option for electrifying remote areas of Australia, due to low population density and sparse population distribution. Many of these remote communities rely on Diesel Generators (DG) for electricity supply.
Providing electricity access in remote and rural areas across the world has always been economically and technically challenging. Prioritising energy sources to electrify a remote community is the most complicated step. A combination of multiple resources is always preferable as no single alternative is absolute.
Remote island community of Loltong Village, Vanuatu A local community from the rural hills in Nepal has successfully set up a solar PV mini-grid through a private enterprise. The villagers are trained to operate and manage the renewable energy system.
Therefore, off-grid solutions are considered an integral part of the standalone off-grid power supply (SOPS) systems in the remote and rural areas by energy planners. Diesel-powered systems are primarily chosen to electrify these areas due to low capital cost and consolidated supply chain in the regions [ 3 ].
The approach proposed in section 3 is applied for electricity supply planning to a remote location in Australia to assist decision-makers and energy strategy planners in selecting an alternative energy system. 4.1. Overview of the location
