摘要
Electrification of rural households is of key importance for Africa's economic growth, particularly for developing countries such as Botswana. This paper carries out a techno-economic feasibility study of a solar biomass hybrid system with and without energy storage to supply load demand. The case studies were performed using HOMER software, choosing Phakalane, a village of Botswana as a location. Various scenarios were investigated such as; solar standalone system with and without energy storage, hybrid solar-biomass system with and without energy storage as well as its integration to the grid. It is concluded that a hybrid solar-biomass system with energy storage is the most technically and economically feasible system with various optimized components.
