Mapping the potential for decentralized energy generation based on RES in Western Balkans

摘要: Although the countries of Western Balkans are greatly electrified, there still regions which do not have access to electricity network or where capacity is insufficient. For most part such areas under special care state (i.e. underdeveloped, devastated by war, depopulated), on islands in mountainous regions. Since decentralized energy generation covers a broad range technologies, including many renewable technologies that provide small-scale power at sites close users, concept could be interest for these locations. This paper identifies systems applied. Consideration given geographical locations as well possible applications. Wind, hydro, solar photovoltaic, and biomass conversion were taken into consideration. sources data region rather scarce, intention was give survey present situation an estimate future potential based sources. The will find its niche easier users produce their own needs located remote rural (off-grid applications).
