摘要: Abstract Access to electricity is still a challenge in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, over 70% the rural dwellers do not have access electricity. The purpose this paper examine potential smart microgrid for off-grid electrification Nigeria. A combination design thinking and model-based methodology employed select suitable configuration develop model. system consisting solar photovoltaic array, battery energy storage diesel generator selected, model developed Simulink. Demand data from 10 communities Nigeria are used validate performance demand management considered. use efficient light bulbs found reduce peak case study by 42 76%. Combining proposed with LED makes 56 81% less net present cost than alone incandescent bulbs. be more generators which currently
